Abstract

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a very successful parasite that can infect virtually all warm blooded animals with a worldwide distribution. It causes a large range of clinical manifestations in both humans and domesticated animals. In addition, marked biological differences exist among T. gondii strains in the pathogenicity and geographical distribution. Molecular epidemiology studies primarily based on restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method revealed that three main types are predominant in North America and Europe, whereas other diverse genotypes are found in other parts of the world. Microsatellite (MS) as a type of genetic marker has been widely used in many organisms. Limited MS genotyping, however, to fingerprint T. gondii isolates has been reported and little is known about the MS data of the strains predominantly prevalent in China.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 April 2014.
All research outputs
#20,226,756
of 22,751,628 outputs
Outputs from Parasites & Vectors
#4,833
of 5,450 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#192,302
of 224,799 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Parasites & Vectors
#38
of 43 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,751,628 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,450 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 224,799 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 43 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
