Conteúdo: 	Abstract - One hundred and sixty-nine fragments of heart muscle collected from goats in the State of Cear´ a, Brazil, were analyzed by mouse bioassay with the aim of isolating Toxoplasma gondii.Two T. gondii isolates, named G1 and G2, were obtained and were characterized by PCR-RFLP. In addition, their virulence was evaluated by experimental inoculation into BALB/c mice. The G1 isolate presented high virulence leading to 100% mortality of mice after inoculations with 101, 102, and 103 tachyzoites. The G2 isolate presented low virulence and none of the doses tested lead to mortality of mice. The PCR-RFLP analysis showed that the two isolates are recombinants of the types I/III. However, they differ in the haplotype combination for the genotypes analyzed.
