Toxoplasmosis is generally self-limiting in healthy adults but it may cause toxoplasmic
retinochoroiditis in cases of congenital infection leading to blindness. The importance of host
genetics in determining disease severity in ocular toxoplasmosis has been shown in
different inbred mouse strains using low-virulence toxoplasma strain. In this study, we
studied intraocular immune response and tissue alterations in the genetically resistant
BALB/c and susceptible MF1 mice infected with a virulent type I RH Toxoplasma gondii …
