Congenital toxoplasmosis in wild boar (Sus scrofa) and identification of the Toxoplasma gondii types involved.
[congenital toxoplasmosis]
Congenital
toxoplasmosis
has
been
little
described
in
wild
animals
.
We
report
a
case
of
vertical
transmission
in
wild
boar
(
Sus
scrofa
)
.
Necropsy
and
histopathologic
examination
of
a
pregnant
female
and
her
three
fetuses
revealed
all
to
have
lesions
compatible
with
acute
toxoplasmosis
.
Nested
polymerase
chain
reaction
B
1
gene
detected
Toxoplasma
gondii
in
maternal
(
heart
and
diaphragm
)
and
fetal
(
central
nervous
system
,
retina
,
optic
nerve
,
heart
,
lung
,
tongue
,
and
diaphragm
)
samples
.
The
mother
had
a
mixed
infection
of
T
.
gondii
types
I
and
III
.
One
fetus
with
type
III
infection
developed
no
malformations
,
but
the
others-
one
with
type
I
infection
and
one
infected
by
types
I
and
III
-showed
bilateral
ocular
agenesis
,
prognathism
,
and
agenesis
of
the
nasal
cartilage
.
These
results
suggest
the
pathogenicity
of
the
various
T
.
gondii
types
may
differ
in
wild
boars
.
