Abstract
Susceptibility of seven inbred and outbred strains of mice to infection with trophozoites of Toxoplasma gondii at two different doses was determined. Stroking strain differences in susceptibility and changes of susceptibility with dosage change were seen. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that this may be due to genetic factors.
