摘要: The Toxoplasma gondii parasite is a worldwide threat most particularly in fetal life and immunosuppression. In clinical situations (except some ocular cases), correct detection or identification of toxoplasmosis requires biological analysis. This article considers the laboratory tools that have been developed this field since discovery pathogen, with emphasis on recent tests how they can should be used different situations. authors also discuss requirements pitfalls one aware when biologically investigating intriguing parasitosis.
