Prevalence of < em > Toxoplasma gondii < /em > antibodies in wild boar (Sus scrofa) from Strza łowo Forest Division, Warmia and Mazury Region, Poland

CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed a high percentage of wild boar seropositive to T. gondii. Muscle samples to obtain meat juice are easily available and simple to collect, even on the hunting grounds, which makes them suitable material for detecting T. gondii antibodies in wild boar. Wild boar are essential to T. gondii circulation in the environment, and raw or undercooked venison may be a source of human infections with this parasite.PMID:34184504 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/118883
