BACKGROUND: The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects and alters the neurotransmission in cerebral cortex and other brain regions, leading to neurobehavioral and neuropathologic changes in humans and animals. However, the molecules that contribute to these changes remain l...
Introduction. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite with an exceptional capacity to colonize a broad range of host species and cell types. Successful infection depends on its ability to manipulate host metabolism, including lipid pathways that are essential for membrane biogenes...
Although Toxoplasma gondii has been recognized as an obligate intracellular parasite, the lipid metabolic alterations it induces in colonic contents during acute infection remain poorly characterized. This study generated an acute infection model using C57BL/6J mice by oral inoculation with the T...
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite capable of infecting nearly all warm-blooded animals, including humans, with epidemiological studies indicating remarkably high global infection. However, due to its complex life cycle, no effective vaccine has bee...
