Malaria is a devastating infectious disease that is caused by blood-borne apicomplexan
parasites of the genus Plasmodium. These pathogens have a complex lifecycle, which …

A critical factor in the transmission and pathogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii is the ability to
convert from an acute disease-causing, proliferative stage (tachyzoite), to a chronic, dormant …

Apicomplexan parasites are protozoan organisms that are characterised by complex life
cycles and they include medically important species, such as the malaria parasite …

The Toxoplasma biology that underlies human chronic infection is developmental
conversion of the acute tachyzoite stage into the latent bradyzoite stage. We investigated the …

The full life cycle of Toxoplasma gondii cannot be recapitulated in vitro, and access to
certain stages, such as mature tissue cysts (bradyzoites) and oocysts (sporozoites) …

Background Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that differentiates from acute
tachyzoite stages to latent bradyzoite forms in response to environmental cues that modify …

Neospora caninum is one of the most efficient transplacentally transmitted pathogens in
cattle and is a cause of abortion in this domestic species. The invasion and proliferation of …

The biological variability among Neospora caninum isolates has been widely shown,
however, the molecular basis that determines this diversity has not been thoroughly …

Most eukaryotic parasites are obligately heteroxenous, requiring sequential infection of
different host species in order to survive. Toxoplasma gondii is a rare exception to this rule …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that modulates a broad range of host
cell functions to guarantee its intracellular development and replication. T. gondii includes …
