Abstract

Abstract: We report the pathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of fatal acute systemic toxoplasmosis in an adult, female, free‐living southern muriqui ( Brachyteles arachnoides ) from São Paulo state, Brazil. PCR‐RFLP genotyping analysis identified the #21 genotype of Toxoplasma gondii . This represents the first report of acute toxoplasmosis involving this genotype in humans and animals.
