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 ...

Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled parasite that people catch from cat feces, unwashed produce or undercooked meat. The parasite has infected up to one-third of the world's population, and after ...

Toxoplasmosis is a common infection from the microscopic parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It appears in many species of animals, but cats are the most common that transmit the parasite to humans.

Additionally, species like Toxoplasma gondii live inside cells, making studying them more difficult and adding to the troubles of developing treatments. “It's really hard to separate host cell ...

Our research focus is to elucidate molecular mechanisms regulating cellular immune responses using the opportunistic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii. Proper immune system function is paramount for human ...

1 But some pathogens have evolved mechanisms to sneak past these defenses. Perhaps the most successful invader is Toxoplasma gondii, a single-celled parasite that establishes chronic infections within ...

By Dina Gavarieva Parasitic infections, long thought to be confined to developing countries, are a global issue that can impact anyone, regardless of geography or socioeconomic status including those ...

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 ...
