To assess the prevalence of  Toxoplasma gondii  infection in native and commensal rodents as indicators of environmental pollution, we analyzed brain tissue from small mammals collected on legal and illegal waste sites in the Slovenian and Croatian parts of Istria. A total of 136 animals and five species of the family Muridae were analyzed: black rat ( Rattus rattus ), domestic mouse ( Mus musculus ), wood mouse ( Apodemus sylvaticus ), striped field mouse ( Apodemus agrarius ), and yellow-necked mouse ( Apodemus flavicollis ). Using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR),  T. gondii  DNA was detected in four homogenized brain tissue samples (2.94%), from all of the analyzed species, except black rat. Out of these, two samples, domestic mouse ( Mus musculus ) and wood mouse ( Apodemus sylvaticus ) had sufficient DNA for genotyping of  T. gondii  isolates in which we demonstrated the presence of clonal type II using RFLP PCR with four markers (SAG1, SAG2, GRA6 and GRA7). Three of four infected animals (75%) were collected on dumpsites.
