Product Information

• Name: Toxoplasma Gondii Sonicated Antigen, Grade II
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled parasitic protozoan responsible for toxoplasmosis, an infection that can affect humans and many warm-blooded animals.The parasite can be transmitted in several ways. Foodborne transmission occurs through the consumption of undercooked or raw meat containing T. gondii cysts. Zoonotic transmission happens via contact with cat feces, as cats are the definitive host. Congenital transmission can occur when an infected mother passes the parasite to her unborn child during pregnancy.Symptoms vary depending on the individual’s immune status. Most healthy people are asymptomatic, though some may experience flu-like symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and muscle aches. In immunocompromised individuals (e.g., those with HIV), toxoplasmosis can lead to severe complications, including encephalitis. Congenital infections can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, or serious developmental problems in infants.Studying Toxoplasma gondii using antigens is an essential part of research, diagnostics, and vaccine development. For example Toxoplasma Gondii antigens can be used to develop serology assays to detect Toxoplasma Gondii.
