Bruno Martorelli Di Genova explains the stages of the life cycle of tozoplasma gondii. Bruno Martorelli Di Genova, a postdoc in Medical Microbiology & Immunology at UW-Madison, discusses the stages of ...

It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the parasite difficult for scientists to study. That parasite is Toxoplasma gondii, a widespread organism that ...

It infects nearly one-third of the global population, yet its microscopic size makes the Toxoplasma gondii parasite difficult for scientists to study. A recent University of South Florida-led study ...

Researchers report that the domestication of crops and animals may have created conditions for some strains of the parasite Toxoplasma gondii to dominate, leading to lower genetic diversity of the ...

Researchers have shown how genetic defects in Toxoplasma gondii are rescued if co-infected with normal parasites, thanks to supportive secreted proteins. The study is published in eLife, and provides ...

Only cats complete its life cycle: Unlike other hosts, T. gondii can only sexually reproduce inside felids. This evolutionary quirk means cats are essential for the parasite to produce its ...

A parasite called Toxoplasma gondii may infect up to one-third of people worldwide. Most infected people never know they carry it because the infection often causes no clear symptoms. However, the ...

Of the many parasites known to control the mind of their host, none is more famous than Toxoplasma gondii—the single-celled organism known colloquially as Toxo. It can survive in a variety of animals, ...

This image shows GFP fluorescent bradyzoites within a tissue cyst isolated from the brain of a mouse infected with Toxoplasma gondii. [Pierre-Mehdi Hammoudi and Damien Jacot] The cat parasite ...

Researchers have shown how genetic defects in Toxoplasma gondii are rescued if co-infected with normal parasites, thanks to supportive secreted proteins. The study was published today as a Version of ...
