Toxoplasma gondii is a common zoonotic intracellular parasite in livestock raised for
human consumption and is a public health concern. The mode of transmission is ingestion,
and meat is considered to be a major vehicle for human and animal infection. As
T. gondii is environmentally transmissible, other important vehicles in particular for
animals include vegetation, soil and water. The seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in
pigs is Serbia has been determined in several studies over the past two decades. It has
been established that it varies considerably, primarily based on husbandry, with strictly
to mostly indoor animals having a lower prevalence (below 20%) than animals raised
outdoors, where prevalence exceeds 60%. Experimental data suggests that different
genotypes of the parasite vary in virulence, but the significance of virulence in terms of
pathology and disease manifestations is still being investigated. Genotypes of T. gondii
isolated from pig tissues in Serbia... to date are ToxoDB#1 (archetype II) and ToxoDB#2
(archetype III). Archetype II is predominant and, based on historical reports and recent
findings, low to intermediately virulent. The virulence phenotype and mechanisms of
archetype III, however, have not been extensively studied, but recent data suggests that
its virulence may vary considerably. This review will also summarize the current knowledge
regarding the virulence of archetypes II and III and evaluate it in the context of
the pig host.
