Little is known of the genetic diversity of Toxoplasma gondii circulating in wildlife. In the
present study wild animals, from the USA were examined for T. gondii infection. Tissues of
naturally exposed animals were bioassayed in mice for isolation of viable parasites. Viable
T. gondii was isolated from 31 animals including, to our knowledge for the first time, from a
bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), five gray wolves (Canis lupus), a woodrat (Neotoma
micropus), and five Arctic foxes (Alopex lagopus). Additionally, 66 T. gondii isolates obtained …
