Summary

Biological Resource Center for Toxoplasma

The Biological Resource Center (BRC) for Toxoplasma gondii is a certified structure (NF S96-900 standard) that manages the storage of Toxoplasma gondii strains (protozoan parasite) and strain derivatives from human or animal toxoplasmosis to make them available to the scientific community. The BRC Toxoplasma works through a network of correspondents who send isolates to the parasitology departments of Reims and Limoges University hospitals (France). Development of BRC Toxoplasma has been consolidated by the creation of a National Reference Center of Toxoplasmosis coordinated by Pr I.VILLENA, with an associated laboratory dedicated to Toxoplasma strains in Limoges (France). – Diversification of the geographical and host species origin of strains by collecting isolates from research teams at a national and international level. Toxoplasma gondii strains and their derivatives (DNA) are available to the research community or industrialists. The BRC Toxoplasma belongs to the following networks: Biobanques (INSERM), BBMRI-ERIC, FBRCMi and Club 3C-R
