Abstract

•Toxoplasma gondii infections in animals are frequent, and the role of wildlife in its epidemiology is not well understood.•Samples from 226 wild animals from different Brazilian localities were submitted to mice bioassay and screened by PCR.•A total of 17 genotypes were identified, 13 identified for the first time and four already reported in published literature.•Most of genotypes here identified are different from previous studies in domestic animals and humans from Brazil.
