QuilA-adjuvanted T. gondii lysate antigens trigger robust antibody and IFNγ+ T cell responses in pigs leading to reduction in parasite DNA in tissues upon challenge infection [PDF]
, 2019 Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite of all mammals and birds, responsible for toxoplasmosis. In healthy individuals T. gondii infections mostly remain asymptomatic, however this parasite causes severe morbidity and mortality in ...

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Miamiensis avidus (syn. Philasterides dicentrarchi) leads to high mortality and economic losses in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) aquaculture. In this study, we developed a real‐time PCR assay targeting the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) gene of M. avidus to sensitively detect and quantify the parasite in seawater.

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.

Cloning of cDNA Encoding GRA1 Protein of Tachyzoite Toxoplasma Gondii Local Isolate
Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2005 Gene encoding GRA1 protein is potent DNA-vaccine candidate against toxoplasmosis. The aim of the research was to clone the gene encoding GRA1 protein of tachyzoite Toxoplasma gondii local isolate by DNA recombinant technology.

Neurons are the Primary Target Cell for the Brain-Tropic Intracellular Parasite Toxoplasma gondii
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Toxoplasma gondii, a common brain-tropic parasite, is capable of infecting most nucleated cells, including astrocytes and neurons, in vitro. Yet, in vivo, Toxoplasma is primarily found in neurons.
