The ultrastructure of Toxoplasma gondii - ScienceDirect
Jan 1, 2020 · Electron microscopy (EM) has been an important tool for understanding the biology and ultrastructure of Toxoplasma gondii. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii has evolved specialized organelles for invasion and successful intracellular parasitism.
A comprehensive ultrastructural analysis of the Toxoplasma …
May 7, 2022 · The findings regarding these new structures contribute to the knowledge concerning the biology of the Toxoplasma gondii cytoskeleton. They also provide new opportunities in the search for therapeutic strategies aimed at these components with the purpose of inhibiting invasion and thus parasitism.
A comprehensive ultrastructural analysis of the Toxoplasma …
The invasive nature of Toxoplasma gondii is closely related to the properties of its cytoskeleton, which is constituted by a group of diverse structural and dynamic components that play key roles during the infection.
Toxoplasma gondii: Ultrastructure study of the entry of …
Dec 15, 2010 · In the present work, electron microscopic study was designed to examine the entry process of Toxoplasma (RH strain) into macrophages and non phagocytic-host cells (Hela cells) and to observe the ultrastructure changes associated with intracellular parasitism.
Structures of Toxoplasma gondii Tachyzoites, Bradyzoites, and ...
The ultrastructure of sporulation was described by Ferguson et al. (56–60). The cytoplasm of the unsporulated oocyst (zygote) has a large nucleus with amorphous nucleoplasm and a distinct nucleolus. The zygote is limited by a unit membrane with few micropores.

Mechanics of the Toxoplasma gondii oocyst wall - PMC
Here, we address the structure and chemistry of the wall of the T. gondii oocyst by combining wall surface treatments, fluorescence imaging, EM, and measurements of its mechanical characteristics by using atomic force microscopy.
The ultrastructure of toxoplasma gondii — Radcliffe Department …
Dec 1, 2007 · This chapter reviews the electron microscopic data on Toxoplasma gondii and its life-cycle stages. There are four invasive forms of T. gondii: the tachyzoite, bradyzoite, merozoite, and sporozoite. Tachyzoites and bradyzoites are associated with the intermediate host, and merozoites and sporozoites with the definitive host.
