Geographical distribution of Toxoplasma gondii genotypes in Asia: A link with neighboring continents.

During the last decades, a large number of studies have been published on Toxoplasma genotypes circulating in Europe, in North and South America. Two continents are still largely unexplored, Africa and, to a less extent, Asia.
