Good afternoon great scholars in the house.
Please I am in need of Toxoplasma gondii Parasite (oocyst/tachyzoite) for a research.
I need assistance on how and where to secure this parasite please
I will appreciate any assistance or recommendations to this effect.
What is the best method for isolationing oocyst from the reservoir host.
In naturally infected hosts (stray cats), you can recover oocysts (10-12 µm) from fecal samples using the flotation test with the solution of your choice (ZnSO4, NaCl, Sugar...) even though I prefer Sheather's sugar solution, see the pdf attached below. Please also check the following links:
