Genetic diversity of African isolates of Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite and has the ability to infect allwarm-blooded animals, including humans. While the three clonal lineages of T. gondii (I, IIand III) predominate in North America and Europe, strains from other regions in the worldappear to have more diverse …

Dynamics and Fate of the inner Membrane Complex in Apicomplexan Parasites
… including Plasmodium sp. and Toxoplasma gondii. These obligate intracellular parasites survive and replicate within suitable eukaryotic hosts, ultimately rupturing infected cells to release parasites that can invade neighboring cells. Repeated cycles of infection and lysis are responsible …

Sphingolipids in Toxoplasma gondii; synthesis and scavenging
Toxoplasma gondii is a globally endemic parasite which can cause severe illness in animal livestock and humans. Currently there are no effective drug treatments which do not have severe side effects and therefore the search for new drugs is of significant importance. Sphingolipids have been shown …

Mechanisms underlying Toxoplasma gondii-mediated behavioral changes of its host
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can infiltrate different hosts and alter behavior. It can create an attraction to cat urine in rats or influence a culture. Different mechanisms have been proposed in the pursuit of understanding the control T. gondii has on its host, including the modulation of …

Investigation of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of iNOS gene expression in infection of natural populations of Apodemus sylvaticus with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous parasite that infects all warm blooded animals. It can cause pathology in both infected humans and infected animals. There have been many studies investigating the factors the affect infection of laboratory animals, with T. gondii, but relatively few that have …

The role of IFN-γ in cell-autonomous immune responses against Salmonella Typhimurium and Toxoplasma gondii
… enterica serovar Typhimurium and Toxoplasma gondii. IFN-γ is a cytokine that functions in both the innate and the adaptive immune responses. IFN-γ is mainly secreted by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells and activates macrophages, promotes antigen presentation and enhances antiviral and …
