Summary

  1. 1. A pyrimethamine-resistant line of Toxoplasma at least 640 times more resistant than the parent strain was developed in vitro.
  2. 2. The resistant nature of this line was retained for at least 3 months when the parasite was grown in the absence of pyrimethamine.
  3. 3. A pyrimethamine-requiring line of Toxoplasma could not be developed.
  4. 4. The drug-resistant nature of this line of Toxoplasma was not demonstrable in vivo.
