Article Synopsis
- A study investigated genetic differences in Toxoplasma gondii isolates from India (Izatnagar and Chennai) compared to the virulent RH-IVRI strain by using GRA6 as a genetic marker.
- The researchers amplified a specific 791 bp GRA6 region and employed Tru1I restriction endonuclease to identify polymorphisms, distinguishing the less virulent local isolates (type III) from the virulent strain (type I).
- Nucleotide sequencing and analysis showed a close genetic relationship of the Indian isolates to type III strains of T. gondii, marking the first characterization of this lineage in India's selective chicken population.
