Abstract
Toxoplasmata of varying grades of virulence were isolated from eggs laid by clinically asymptomatic hens and from their internal organs. The strains so recovered were identified as Toxoplasna gondii by morphological, serological, cultural, and pathogenic criteria. These findings strongly suggest that toxoplasmosis may be contracted through the eating of raw or undercooked infected eggs.Keywords
