Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic obligatory intracellular protozoan parasite with the capability to infect all warm-blooded animals. One of the great concerns is that it can lead to ovine abortion in sheep growing industry. Different diagnostic methods such as serology, pathology, immunohistochemistry, bioassay and molecular detection have been used in order to detect ovine abortion associated with T. gondii. In this case, an outbreak of congenital toxoplasmosis based on serological, macroscopic, pathological detection and isolation of T. gondii by bioassay is described and emphasized on the importance of this route of transmission that caused lamb losses and an increase in possible sources of infection for human and environment.
刚地弓形虫是一种人畜共患的专性细胞内原生动物寄生虫，能够感染所有温血动物。其中一个重大问题是，它会导致养羊业中的绵羊流产。为了检测与刚地弓形虫相关的绵羊流产，人们使用了血清学、病理学、免疫组织化学、生物测定和分子检测等不同的诊断方法。在本病例中，描述了一起基于血清学、宏观检查、病理学检测以及通过生物测定分离刚地弓形虫的先天性弓形虫病暴发事件，并强调了这种传播途径的重要性，它导致了羔羊死亡，并增加了人类和环境可能的感染源。
