ABSTRACT
We report the pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of fatal acute systemic toxoplasmosis in an adult, female, freeliving southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) from São Paulo state, Brazil. PCRRFLP genotyping analysis identified the #21 genotype of Toxoplasma gondii. This represents the first report of acute toxoplasmosis involving this genotype in humans and animals.
