The previously expressed opinions "Ang...Bobbi,<br />The previously expressed opinions "Angiostrongylus costaricensis" gave me an idea. The definitive hosts for that nematode are humans and rodents. Inside the granulomas in slide 3, the purple-stained blobs are about the right size for T. gondii (also problematic for rodents and humans.) In another type of tissue, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3237564/, T. gondii cysts sizes were found to be between 10 and 70 µm, and 13% of cysts were in pairs. <br />Is this a nested-doll scenario? (protist within nematode that invades person).<br />Also curious if vacationing patient ate anything that could be relevant to a mollusc that is a viable intermediate host for the nematode.<br />Please forgive my speculation if it is way off base. I am untrained, but ever striving to learn.<br />Thanks,<br />JohnJohn C.
