Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in Pinnipeds under Human Care and in Wild Pinnipeds
Pathogens, 2021 Toxoplasma gondii infection has been reported in numerous species of marine mammals, some of them with fatal consequences. A serosurvey for T. gondii infection was conducted in pinnipeds from an oceanographic park in Portugal (n = 60); stranded pinnipeds
