Abstract：
:In the present study, several stimuli were tested to liberate Toxoplasma gondii sporozoites from oocysts. Incubation in Na(2)CO(3)-CO(2) buffer at 40 degrees C with ultrasound, followed by incubation at 40 degrees C with bile or deoxycholic acid, was the only method that resulted in 95% liberation of motile infective sporozoites. A protocol of reproducibly high efficiency is provided, that compares favorably with any of the methods previously published.
