Abstract：Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a protozoon which infects almost all warm-blooded animals, including humans, and it has a complex life cycle and pathogenesis. The studies about T. gondii population structure have shown that it has a genetic diversity and regional differences, recently. Now, 189 genotypes have been identified from 1 457 isolates collected from all around the world (http://ToxoDB.org). In contrast, the isolates from humans and animals from South America are genetically diverse. There was less information about genotypes and virulence of T. gondii isolations from China. The present study reviewed the genotypes and their biological characteristics of T. gondii from animals and humans in China and provided basis for the research about T. gondii population structure, epidemiology and pathogenic mechanism in the further.
