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

In Vivo Biotinylation of the Toxoplasma Parasitophorous Vacuole Reveals Novel Dense Granule Proteins Important for Parasite Growth and Pathogenesis. [PDF]

, 2016
UnlabelledToxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that invades host cells and replicates within a unique parasitophorous vacuole. To maintain this intracellular niche, the parasite secretes an array of dense granule proteins (GRAs) into ...

Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii IgG Antibodies and Associated Risk Factors in Psychiatric Patients from Western Romania: A Cross-Sectional Study

Microorganisms
Infection with the coccidian parasite Toxoplasma gondii was associated with an increased risk of several mental disorders. We conducted a case–control study of 464 consecutive psychiatric patients and assessed the prevalence of IgG antibodies against T ...

Lightweight and Scalable Particle Tracking and Motion Clustering of 3D Cell Trajectories [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Tracking cell particles in 3D microscopy videos is a challenging task but is of great significance for modeling the motion of cells. Proper characterization of the cell's shape, evolution, and their movement over time is crucial to understanding and modeling the mechanobiology of cell migration in many diseases.

Toxoplasma gondii: Entry, association, and physiological influence on the central nervous system

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Toxoplasma gondii is one of the world’s most successful parasites, in part because of its ability to infect and persist in most warm-blooded animals. A unique characteristic of T.

Adverse impact of acute Toxoplasma gondii infection on human spermatozoa

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites injected intraperitoneally crossed the blood‐testes barrier, appearing in testes/epididymis by day 6 post‐infection. In vitro exposure caused increased sperm necrosis/apoptosis and structural damage to heads/tails. Immunofluorescence and SEM revealed tachyzoites attaching to sperm tails, inducing twisting/detachment, and ...
