Toxoplasmosis is an important zoonosis transmitted from animals to humans world-wide. In
order to determine Toxoplasma gondii genotypes in individuals living in Germany and to
compare findings with those in animals, we analysed nine independent and unlinked
genetic markers (nSAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c22-8, c29-2, L358, PK1 and Apico) by PCR-
RFLP in 83 archived T. gondii-positive DNA samples from patients with ocular
toxoplasmosis (n= 35), toxoplasmic encephalitis (n= 32), systemic toxoplasmosis after bone …
