Selection at a single locus leads to widespread expansion of toxoplasma gondii lineages that are virulent in mice [PDF]

, 2009
The determinants of virulence are rarely defined for eukaryotic parasites such as T. gondii, a widespread parasite of mammals that also infects humans, sometimes with serious consequences.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Behavior‐Based Rodent Management: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Opportunities

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Management of rodent pests often relies upon their decisions about whether or not to interact with management tools such as baits and traps. These decisions are shaped by behavioral motivations that can vary with environmental context, over time, and between individuals, which provide both challenges and opportunities for control.

Analysis of the Correlation Between Toxoplasma gondii Seropositivity and Alzheimer’s Disease

Pathogens
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial brain disorder and infectious diseases are considered as one of the predisposing factors for AD. Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan, is suspected of being associated with AD ...

Preparation of colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strips for the diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii

Food and Agricultural Immunology, 2020
As a severely harmful zoonotic disease, toxoplasmosis has complex clinical symptoms with atypical lesions, thus making it difficult for diagnosis in a timely manner. Therefore, developing an appropriate technique to diagnose and prevent toxoplasmosis has

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Interleukin‐12: Central Roles in Immune Regulation and Disease Therapy

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
IL‐12 levels are tightly regulated to balance effective protective immunity against infections and cancer with the risk of excessive inflammation and autoimmune disease. Both insufficient and excessive IL‐12 activity can therefore be detrimental, highlighting the importance of precisely controlling its production and signaling. ABSTRACT Interleukin‐12 (

Toxoplasma gondii in rodents and shrews in Armenia, Transcaucasia

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Toxoplasma gondii infections in small mammals are important because they serve as source of infection for the felids who excrete environmentally resistant oocysts in their feces. Here, the authors sought evidence for T.
