1. 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

2. Host molecular determinants of toxoplasma gondii dissemination
Abstract : Humans and animals acquire the parasite Toxoplasma gondii through contaminated food or water, upon which the parasite rapidly disseminates in the host. In immunocompetent individuals, this acute phase is transient and leads to chronic colonization of preferentially the central nervous system (CNS). READ MORE

3. Immune evasion and dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii
Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite which propagates in a complex life cycle where infection of Felidae family-members (Cats) results in sexual recombination whereas all other warm-blooded animals are intermediate hosts. Approximately one third of the human population is estimated to be chronically infected by this parasite. READ MORE

4. Molecular diagnosis of infection with Toxoplasma gondii in immunocompromised patients
Abstract : The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects more than a billion people worldwide. The parasite is generally divided into three clonal lineages, denoted type I, II and III. READ MORE

5. 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
