Abstract: Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonotic parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii ,seriously endangering human health and animal husbandry production. Molecular biological techniques can provide a rapid,sensitive and specific detection for the diagnosis of this disease. This paper reviews the research progress in hybridization,polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and derivation,loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP),gene chip and gene sequencing technology in the diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii.
