1. 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.

2. 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

3. 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

4. Leishmania donovani Lipophosphoglycan : Modulation of Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Function
Abstract : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomus sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). READ MORE

5. Intestinal dendritic cell migration and induction of T cell responses
Abstract : The intestine represents the body’s largest surface exposed to the outer world and is thus a major entry site for pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. The intestinal immune system has the important task of protecting us against infection while maintaining tolerance against the vast amount of commensal microbes populating the intestinal tract and the multitude of foreign antigen present in the diet.
