ABSTRACT
The merogonic stages of Toxoplasma gondii and their effects on the mortality and histopathological changes in the orally-inoculated male house mice Mus musculus with low and high doses [LD and HD] of T. gondii sporulated oocysts were investigated. The mortality percentages in LD group were 16%, 20%, 28% and 72%; while, those in HD group was 36%, 56%, 72% and 100% in the 1st-4th week, respectively.
