Mice Infected with Low-virulence Strains of Toxoplasma gondii Lose their Innate Aversion to Cat Urine, Even after Extensive Parasite Clearance [PDF]
, 2013 Toxoplasma gondii chronic infection in rodent secondary hosts has been reported to lead to a loss of innate, hard-wired fear toward cats, its primary host. However the generality of this response across T. gondii strains and the underlying mechanism for this pathogen mediated behavioral change remain unknown.

A latent ability to persist: differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2018 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 stage (bradyzoite).

Toxoplasma gondii: An Underestimated Threat? [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2020 Traditionally, the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii has been thought of as relevant to public health primarily within the context of congenital toxoplasmosis or postnatally acquired disease in immunocompromised patients. However, latent T.gondii infection has been increasingly associated with a wide variety of neuropsychiatric disorders and, more ...

Drug Resistance in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a global protozoan parasite infecting up to one-third of the world population. Pyrimethamine (PYR) and sulfadiazine (SDZ) are the most widely used drugs for treatment of toxoplasmosis; however, several failure cases have ...

Trends in Parasitology, 2019 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of experimental Toxoplasma gondii infection on ram sperm quality. Thirty-two five months old, pre-pubertal, rams were divided into 4 groups (n=8 per group). Group A was the control group; the remaining three groups (B, C, D) received per os 5000 mature oocysts of T. gondii.

Toxoplasma gondii in the Food Supply [PDF]
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.

The aromatic amino acid hydroxylase genes AAH1 and AAH2 in Toxoplasma gondii contribute to transmission in the cat [PDF]
, 2017 The Toxoplasma gondii genome contains two aromatic amino acid hydroxylase genes, AAH1 and AAH2 encode proteins that produce L-DOPA, which can serve as a precursor of catecholamine neurotransmitters.

Seroepidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii infection in diabetic patients and the impact of toxoplasmosis on diabetes associated complications in Minia city, Egypt [PDF]
Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, 2023 OBJECTIVE: The correlation between both types of diabetes and toxoplasmosis has not been firmly established. To confirm this correlation, we conducted this study to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis and to identify possible associated risk ...
