Abstract
⺠Rats infected intraperitoneally with Toxoplasma gondii show alterations of their myenteric plexus. ⺠These alterations are different in the small and large intestine. ⺠Toxoplasma gondii causes death of myenteric neurons in some parts of gut. ⺠Most myenteric neurons present morphometric alterations because of toxoplasmic infection.
