Local admixture of amplified and diversified secreted pathogenesis determinants shapes mosaic Toxoplasma gondii genomes

Nature Communications, 2016
Toxoplasma gondii is among the most prevalent parasites worldwide, infecting many wild and domestic animals and causing zoonotic infections in humans. T. gondii differs substantially in its broad distribution from closely related parasites that typically

Strongyloides Antigens Alter Cytokines Responses in Toxoplasma gondii‐Infected BeWo Trophoblast Cells

Cell Biology International, Volume 50, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The importance of co‐infections is not yet completely understood, and the impact and direction of their effects vary considerably. This study aimed to evaluate the role of total saline extract (TS) and excretory/secretory (ES) products of Strongyloides venezuelensis filarioid larvae on a maternal‐interface cell model during Toxoplasma gondii ...

Is Toxoplasma gondii a Trigger of Bipolar Disorder?

Pathogens, 2017
Toxoplasma gondii, a ubiquitous intracellular parasite, has a strong tropism for the brain tissue, where it forms intracellular cysts within the neurons and glial cells, establishing a chronic infection. Although latent toxoplasmosis is generally assumed

Cerebral Abscess Masquerading as Tuberculoma in a Post‐Renal Transplant Chronic Kidney Disease Patient: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk of acquiring serious infections. We present a case of a 48‐year‐old male with a history of renal transplantation in 2012, chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 4, hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and prior tuberculous pleural effusion.

Toxoplasma depends on lysosomal consumption of autophagosomes for persistent infection

Nature Microbiology, 2017
Globally, nearly 2 billion people are infected with the intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii1. This persistent infection can cause severe disease in immunocompromised people and is epidemiologically linked to major mental illnesses2 and cognitive ...
