The transcriptome of Toxoplasma gondii
BMC Biology, 2005 AbstractBackgroundToxoplasma gondiigives rise to toxoplasmosis, among the most prevalent parasitic diseases of animals and man. Transformation of the tachzyoite stage into the latent bradyzoite-cyst form underlies chronic disease and leads to a lifetime risk of recrudescence in individuals whose immune system becomes compromised.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1970 SummaryIsolation and characterization of toxoplasma RNA revealed a ribosomal species which could be easily differentiated from mammalian host cell RNA. A species of transfer RNA also appeared to differ from that of the host cell. Extracellular toxoplasma were capable of incorporating 3H-uridine into the major components of their RNA.
