Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects birds and mammals, including humans. T. gondii T-263 is an attenuated mutant strain that is being developed as a live vaccine to protect cats from shedding oocysts. A cryopreservation procedure for T. gondii T-263 bradyzoites has been developed to meet the requirement for product stability.
