Abstract
DNA was extracted from 70 pork sausage samples obtained from 55 commercial establishments in the city of Botucatu, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Nested-polymerase chain reaction with primers specific for Toxoplasma gondii SAG2 locus was used and detected the parasite in 19 (27.14%) sausage samples. Digestion of amplicons with restriction enzymes HhaI and Sau3AI showed that 14 (73.68%) samples contained parasites genotyped as Type I, and 5 (26.32%) as Type III.
