Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that causes opportunistic
disease, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Central to its transmission and …

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite of mammals and birds that is an important
human pathogen. Infection with this Apicomplexan parasite results in its dissemination …

Apicomplexa are primarily obligate intracellular protozoa that have evolved complex
developmental stages important for pathogenesis and transmission. Toxoplasma gondii …

Asexual development in Toxoplasma gondii is a vital aspect of the parasite's life cycle,
allowing transmission and avoidance of the host immune response. Differentiation of rapidly …

ABSTRACT The induction of indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (INDO) expression and the
tryptophan (Trp)-kynurenine (Kyn) metabolic pathway during in vivo infection with …

Certain kinetoplastid (Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma cruzi) and apicomplexan
parasites (Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii) are capable of invading human …

Developmental switching in Toxoplasma gondii, from the virulent tachyzoite to the relatively
quiescent bradyzoite stage, is responsible for disease propagation and reactivation. We …

Heat shock proteins act as molecular chaperones, facilitating protein folding in cells of living
organisms. Their role is particularly important in parasites because environmental changes …

Two replicative forms characterize the asexual cycle of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma
gondii: rapidly growing tachyzoites and slowly dividing encysted bradyzoites. The …

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a cosmopolitan protozoan parasite in humans and animals.
It infects about 30% of the human population worldwide and causes potentially fatal …
