“…The presence of T. gondii DNA in the placenta, heart and brain of the fetus of a sheep that was positive in the serology confirmed the vertical transmission of the parasite in naturally infected sheep in Brazil. The following data, related to spontaneous abortions caused by T. gondii, are recorded in the literature: 10.6% in Germany (Steuber et al 1995); 11.1% and 18.1% in Italy (Masala et al 2003(Masala et al , 2007; 14.3% in Brazil (Moraes et al 2011);16.9% and23.2% in Spain (Hurtado et al 2001, Pereira-Bueno et al 2004) and 17.5% in the USA (Dubey & Kirkbride 1990).…”
