Abstract
Groups of C57BL/6j mice were fed cysts or oocysts of the pork 1 strain of T. gondii. Mice were then observed twice daily for signs of altered behaviour and visual physical signs indicative of infection, and their weight and rectal temperatures were recorded. Observations were continued for at least 19 days, at which time mice had either succumbed to the infection or had recovered. The results obtained suggest that visual physical signs and fever and weight loss are not markers that could be accurately used as alternatives to death as an indicator of pathogenicity of T. gondii in mice.
