In an analysis of more than 600 people over age 65, scientists found that almost 70% had been infected with T. gondii — a ...

Researchers have shown how genetic defects in Toxoplasma gondii are rescued if co-infected with normal parasites, thanks to ...

A study sheds new light on how Toxoplasma gondii parasites make the proteins they need to enter a dormant stage that allows ...

Then I became acquainted with Toxoplasma gondii. In my research at the Indiana University School of Medicine, I observed how the single-celled T. gondii parasite can change the behavior of the ...

Taken together, these findings show that latent T. gondii infection specifically alters the behaviour of the rodent host for its own selective benefit, rather than decreasing learned fear or ...

Aim 1: Understand the molecular regulation of NK cell responsiveness during T. gondii infection. Immune system instability can result in the development of autoimmunity, cancer, susceptibility to ...

A study sheds new light on how Toxoplasma gondii parasites make the proteins they need to enter a dormant stage that allows them to escape drug treatment. A study by Indiana University School of ...
