Blood sample and placenta were taken from a 37-week pregnant woman; serologic results indicated acute toxoplasmosis. Placenta was inoculated into mice. Seropositive mice were sacrificed and tissue cysts from brain were inoculated into new mice. Specific DNA was detected by PCR, and the isolate was characterized as Type II by nPCR-RFLP for nSAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c29-2, c22-8, L358, PK1 and Apico markers. This is the first isolation and molecular characterization of Toxoplasma gondii from humans in Argentina.
从一名怀孕37周的妇女身上采集了血样和胎盘;血清学结果显示为急性弓形虫病。将胎盘接种到小鼠体内。对血清反应呈阳性的小鼠实施安乐死,并将其脑组织囊肿接种到新的小鼠体内。通过聚合酶链反应检测特异性DNA,并通过针对nSAG2、SAG3、BTUB、GRA6、c29-2、c22-8、L358、PK1和Apico标记物的巢式聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性分析,将该分离株鉴定为II型。这是在阿根廷首次从人体分离出刚地弓形虫并进行分子特征分析。
