Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is caused by the opportunistic, cosmopolitan protozoan Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most common parasitoses in the world. This parasite can pose a threat to people with ...
A) Schematic of double-crossover integration strategy for replacing PfHO gene with cDNA encoding PfHO (Toxoplasma gondii codon bias) and RNA aptamers at the 5’ and 3’ ends of the gene. 580 bp sequence ...
Researchers have shown how genetic defects in Toxoplasma gondii are rescued if co-infected with normal parasites, thanks to supportive secreted proteins. The study is published in eLife ...
gondii from the cortical capillaries to the brain parenchyma (Table 1). Table 1. T. gondii infection regulates the secretion of chemokines, the expression of cell adhesion molecules, extracellular ...
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 ...
gondii ER efficiently takes up Ca 2+ that enters the cytosol from the extracellular milieu. Filling of acidic stores in T. gondii appears to be dependent on the filling of the ER The mitochondrion of ...
