Abstract：
:An avirulent T. gondii strain isolated from a owl (Glaucidium brasilianum) produces randomly distributed cysts in the brain of mice which can survive to inocula as high as 1000 oocysts. Cysts appeared for the first time after 15 days of infection. Regarding to humoral immunity development due to our TCR-2 strain, detectable antibodies were found after 12 days of infection.
