Description
Filippo Dini and co-authors type strains of a foodborne parasite in northern Italy in 2024. The parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, infects people and animals across the world. Knowing which strains circulate matters for tracking illness and outbreaks. The team gathered positive samples from farm, wild, and captive animals in the region.
Only a small share of samples held enough material for full typing. Three standard methods were applied to those samples in parallel. Most typed strains matched the type two family known in Europe. Many came from abortion outbreaks in sheep and goats. The results map which parasite lines move through local animal hosts.
