Characterization of a repetitive DNA fragment in Hammondia hammondi and its utility for the specific differentiation of H. hammondi from Toxoplasma gondii by PCR

Hammondia hammondi and Toxoplasma gondii are closely related protozoan parasites. Both species use felids as definitive hosts and a broad spectrum of warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts. Morphologically and serologically, the two parasites are difficult to differentiate. While T. gondii is an...
