Protein import into the endosymbiotic organelles of apicomplexan parasites [PDF]

, 2018
The organelles of endosymbiotic origin, plastids, and mitochondria, evolved through the serial acquisition of endosymbionts by a host cell. These events were accompanied by gene transfer from the symbionts to the host, resulting in most of the organellar

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.

Vaccines against toxoplasma gondii : challenges and opportunities [PDF]

, 2009
Development of vaccines against Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans is of high priority, given the high burden of disease in some areas of the world like South America, and the lack of effective drugs with few adverse effects.

Toxoplasma and Plasmodium protein kinases: roles in invasion and host cell remodelling [PDF]

, 2011
Some apicomplexan parasites have evolved distinct protein kinase families to modulate host cell structure and function. Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein kinases and pseudokinases are involved in virulence and modulation of host cell signalling.

Mechanisms of Human Innate Immune Evasion by Toxoplasma gondii

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite of global importance that can remarkably infect, survive, and replicate in nearly all mammalian cells. Notably, 110 years after its discovery, Toxoplasmosis is still a neglected parasitic infection.

Association between Toxoplasma gondii infection and psychiatric disorders: a cross-sectional study in China

Scientific Reports, 2022
Psychiatric patients have become the focus of public attention, and current research suggests a possible link between Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) infection and mental illness. To understand the current situation of T.

An experimental genetically attenuated live vaccine to prevent transmission of Toxoplasma gondii by cats

Scientific Reports, 2019
Almost any warm-blooded creature can be an intermediate host for Toxoplasma gondii. However, sexual reproduction of T. gondii occurs only in felids, wherein fertilisation of haploid macrogametes by haploid microgametes, results in diploid zygotes, around

Toxoplasma gondiiand Schizophrenia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that infectious agents may contribute to some cases of schizophrenia. In animals, infections with Toxoplasma gondii can alter behavior and neurotransmitter function. In humans, acute infection with T. gondii can produce psychotic symptoms similar to those displayed by persons with schizophrenia. Since 1953, a total
