One hundred animals were inoculated intraperitoneally with 5000 trophozoites of RH strain and five of them were killed every 3 h from 3 h to 21 h post infection (p.i.), and every day from day 1 to day 7 p.i.. No assay detected the parasite from 3 h p.i. to 15 h p.i. PCR was the most sensitive assay and detected the T. gondii from 18 h p.i., whereas the other assays detected it only from day 1. , UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jmm/10.1099/0022-1317-50-12-1100
