ckground:The distribution of Toxoplasma gondii genotypes varies across the *** population structure studies revealed that a few major clonal lineages of T. gondii predominated in different geographical *** in South America is genetically and biologically divergent,whereas this parasite is a remarkable clone in North America and Europe with a few major lineages including Types Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Information on genotypes and mouse virulence of T. gondii isolates from China is SCarce and insufficient to investigate its population structure,evolution,and ***/Principal Findings:We analyzed 23 *** isolates from different hosts in this study(four from human and nineteen from cats).Genotyping of these isolates using 10PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)markers(SAG1,SAG2,SAG3,BTUB,GRA6,c22.8,c29-2,L358,PK1 and Apico)from DNA obtained from tachyzoites and/or cysts revealed five genotypes;among them three genotypes were atypical and two were *** atypical genotypes were designated as Chinese 1(ToxoDB#9),ToxoDB#204,and ToxoDB#205,*** strains belong to the Chinese 1 lineage,which Was previously reported as a widespread lineage from swine,cats,and human in *** human isolates fall into the type Ⅰ and Ⅱ lineages and no type Ⅲ isolates were *** remaining isolates belong to two new atypical genotypes which were analyzed for the first time in *** results show that these genotypes of *** isolates are intermediately to highly virulent in mice except for the stmin TgCtwh6,which caused parasitemia for 35 days post infection in mice although it Dossesses the uniform Chinese 1 ***,phylogenetic network analYses of all isolates of genotype Chinese 1 are identical,and there is no variation based on the 5equence data generated at four introns(EF1,HP2,UPRT1 and UPRT7)and two dense granule proteins GRA6 and ***/Significance:A limited genetic diversity
