Toxoplasma gondii: CD8 T Cells Cry for CD4 Help

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii, an apicomplexan parasite, is a pathogenic protozoan that can infect the central nervous system. In pregnant women, infection can result in congenital problems of the fetus, while in immunocompromised individual it can lead to severe ...

A Report on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Fungal Critical Brain Abscesses A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiple Candida glabrata (C. glabrata) brain abscesses are an exceptionally rare central‐nervous‐system infection. Clinical data on diagnosing and managing multiple Candida glabrata brain abscesses are still scarce. Here we reported a 66‐year‐old patient with multiple C. glabrata brain abscesses confirmed by cerebrospinal‐fluid puncture.

CRISPR/Cas9 and glycomics tools for Toxoplasma glycobiology

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is a major health risk owing to birth defects, its chronic nature, ability to reactivate to cause blindness and encephalitis, and high prevalence in human populations.

Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marine systems, the effect of other community members on the disease dynamics of microparasites in their suitable hosts is poorly known.

Toxoplasma gondii in the Food Supply

Pathogens, 2017
Toxoplasmosis is caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Infections are usually either asymptomatic or develop mild symptoms that are self-limited, but infections in immunosuppressed persons can be severe.

Exploiting Lactic Acid Bacteria for Regulating Autophagy to Improve Health in Foods and Supplements: A Recent Update

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are frequently used as health supplements. They enhance digestion, regulate immunity, improve gut microbiota, and prevent and manage diseases. Autophagy has a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and pathogenic infections.

Toxoplasma gondii infection triggers chronic cachexia and sustained commensal dysbiosis in mice

bioRxiv, 2018
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a predation-mediated transmission cycle between rodents and felines. Intermediate hosts acquire Toxoplasma by eating parasite cysts which invade the small intestine, disseminate systemically and finally ...

MYR1-Dependent Effectors Are the Major Drivers of a Host Cell’s Early Response to Toxoplasma, Including Counteracting MYR1-Independent Effects

mBio, 2018
The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii controls its host cell from within the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) by using a number of diverse effector proteins, a subset of which require the aspartyl protease 5 enzyme (ASP5) and/or the recently ...

Protection against Toxoplasmosis in Mice Immunized with Different Antigens of Toxoplasma gondii Incorporated into Liposomes

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Different toxoplasma antigens were entrapped within liposomes and evaluated, in this form, for their ability to protect Swiss mice against toxoplasma infection: soluble tachyzoite antigen (L/TAg), tissue cyst (L/CAg), tachyzoite plus tissue cyst (L/TCAg)
