Método sencillo para determinar la presencia de Toxoplasma gondii (Eucoccidia: Sarcocystidae) en carne / Simplifie method to determinated presence of Toxoplasma gondii in meat

RESUMO

Presence of T. gondii in meat from several sources was determined by traditional methods and by a new simplified method in wich animals are fed meat directly without any previous treatment with artificial gastric fluid. Tissues are ground and the animals ingest them naturally. Determination of Toxoplasma in lungs or brain (as well as by specific antibody test), showed no statistically significant differences between both methods.
