1. Environmental sequencing to infer patterns of eukaryotic evolution : Combining long-read and short-read metabarcoding
Abstract : Our view of eukaryotes is biased towards plants, animals, and fungi. But the vast majority of eukaryotic diversity is microbial in nature. These microbial eukaryotes are key players in all ecosystems on earth and are collectively known as protists. READ MORE

2. Host-parasite interactions in the dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii
Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects virtually all warm-blooded organisms. Systemic dissemination of T. gondii in the organism can cause life-threatening infection that manifests as Toxoplasma encephalitis in immune-compromised patients. READ MORE

3. Signaling determinants in Trojan horse-mediated dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii
Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects all warm-blooded vertebrates including one third of the global human population. While infection is typically asymptomatic in healthy human hosts, reactivated and acute infection in immunosuppressed or immunecompromised individuals can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis After ingestion, the parasite crosses the intestinal epithelium and rapidly achieves systemic dissemination, ultimately establishing chronic infection in the brain.

4. Transmigration of Toxoplasma gondii across biological barriers
Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can likely infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, with estimates of up to 30% of the global human population being infected. Although infection with T. gondii is usually asymptomatic or mild, in immunocompromised individuals infection can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis. READ MORE

5. Modulation of mononuclear phagocyte function in the dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii
Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular Apicomplexan parasite that could possibly infect all warm-blooded animals. Acute infections with T. READ MORE
