Investigation of Toxoplasma gondii presence in farmed shellfish by nested-PCR and real-time PCR fluorescent amplicon generation assay (FLAG)

► Shellfish filter large volumes of water and can retain several zoonotic protozoans. ► Edible shellfish i.e., Crassostrea gigas and Tapes decussatus harbour Toxoplasma gondii DNA. ► Eating contaminated shellfish can be a risk for human health.
