In this study, we have evaluated the effect of essential oils of Thymus broussonetii Boiss, an endemic plant of Morocco in experimental transmission of Toxoplasma gondii cysts in mice. These oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and were administered to mice at 20 microg/animal orally at the time of infection and for several days thereafter. This resulted in total absence of intracerebral cysts in mice who received the essential oils signifying that these essential oils of thyme have a blocking effect on the appearance of the cysts. In addition, no abnormality was observed in the control mice who received the essential oils of thyme.
在这项研究中，我们评估了摩洛哥特有植物百里香精油对实验性传播刚地弓形虫包囊的影响。这些精油是通过水蒸馏法获得的，在感染时以 20 微克/动物的剂量口服给予小鼠，并在其后的几天内给予。这导致接受精油的小鼠脑中完全没有囊包，表明这些百里香精油对囊包的出现具有阻断作用。此外，接受百里香精油的对照小鼠没有观察到任何异常。
