The protective effect of milk diet on Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice.
The effect of an all milk diet on resistance to Toxoplasmagondii infection in mice was studied. Mice fed an all milk diet were more resistant than conventionally fed mice to T. gondii. It was shown that this effect was due to a dietary deficiency para-aminobenzoic acid.
