Visceral toxoplasmosis in dogs from Brazil.
Toxoplasma gondii was identified in tissues of two dogs (3 and 10 months of age) from Brazil. Primary lesions consisted of necrotizing intestinal myositis associated with numerous tachyzoites. Parasites in tissues reacted with anti-T. gondii serum but not with Neospora caninum serum.
