Biodiversa+π Rodents are Toxoplasma gondii reservoirs. #BioRodDis (#BiodivHealth) found 8.9% seroprevalence in Polish rodents via serological tests, despite no DNA via PCR. This shows serology's value & the need for more bio-monitoring in small mammals.

Identification of <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> in wild rodents in Poland by molecular and serological techniques
Rodents are recognized as reservoirs for Toxoplasma gondii , playing a crucial role in maintaining the parasiteβs presence in the environment. Biomonitoring was conducted to assess the role of sylvatic rodents in maintaining T. gondii , and to analyse the prevalence and seroprevalence of the...
