Direct genotype analysis of Toxoplasma gondii in ocular samples from patients with active rtinochoroiditis
This study is the first report of direct genotyping of intra-ocular fluid specimens from Iranian patients with OT that revealed a striking predominance of T. gondii type I. These findings indicate the potential role of this highly virulent lineage of the parasite in severe ocular disease in Iran, and suggest that appropriate management and control strategies may be required in this population.
