Toxoplasma gondii es un protozoo distribuido mundialmente que infecta a animales de sangre caliente. Determinamos la exposición a T. gondii en una nutria marina (Lontra felina) y cuatro gatos domésticos (Felis catus) a lo largo de la costa norte y central de Chile, indicando una baja seroprevalencia del 5% (1/19) y 8% (4/50 ) respectivamente, probablemente relacionados con un ambiente árido.
Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide-distributed protozoon that infects warm-blooded animals. We determined T. gondii exposure in one marine otter (Lontra felina) and four domestic cats (Felis catus) along the northern and central coast of Chile, indicating a low seroprevalence of 5% (1/19) and 8% (4/50) respectively, likely related to arid environment.
