| Abstract:
|
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasitic protozoan that infects nearly one-third of human .Toxoplasmosis is one of the most important food-borne diseases distributed worldwide. In order to survey the prevalence of different genotypes within an area, free-scope chickens act as a perfect pattern species.In current study , 95 chickens were used to investigate the prevalence and genotype. This study was condected to isolated and genotype T.gondii from chicken ,Heart, livers and brain from a total of 95 chickens were examined for detection T. gondii infection from 10th October 2017 to 4th May 2018. In kittens that were fed the chickens by shed oocysts, genotyping using the SAG2 locus indicated that 67 isolates were type II, 15 were type III and 23 were typeI.Microsatellite analysis revealed allelic differences between and within the lineages. This is the first record on genetic characterization of any T. gondii isolate in Iraq.
