We have developed a quantitative PCR assay (LightCyder (R)) using the pair of primers JW58 and JW59 for the detection a( the 35-fold repeated 131 gene of Toxoplasma gondii. This real-time PCR, using fluorescence resonance energy transfert (FRET) hybridization probes, allows the quantification of T. gondii with several technical requirements not previously described: i) an internal amplification control (co-amplified in a single tube with the some primers), ii) Uracil-N-Glycosylase and iii) a standard curve corresponding to a serial dilution from a calibrated suspension of T. gondii ranging from 40 to 4.10(6) parasites in one ml of amniotic fluid (1 to 10(5) T. gondii/PCR. In artificial samples, one parasite could be detected if at least three reactions were performed.
