Toxoplasmosis, caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, is an
important zoonosis with medical and veterinary importance worldwide. The disease is …

Early electron microscopy studies revealed the elaborate cellular features that define the
unique adaptations of apicomplexan parasites. Among these were bulbous rhoptry (ROP) …

Found worldwide from Alaska to Australasia, Toxoplasma gondii knows no geographic
boundaries. The protozoan is the source of one of the most common parasitic infections in …

This paper reviews clinical and asymptomatic Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans and
other animals in the USA. Seroprevalence of T. gondii in humans and pigs is declining …

The development of simple, sensitive and rapid methods for the detection and identification
of Toxoplasma gondii is important for the diagnosis and epidemiological studies of the …

The majority of known Toxoplasma gondii isolates from Europe and North America belong to
three clonal lines that differ dramatically in their virulence, depending on the host. To identify …

Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite of the phylum Apicomplexa, can cause
severe disease in humans with an immature or suppressed immune system. The outcome of …

Toxoplasma gondii strains differ dramatically in virulence despite being genetically very
similar. Genetic mapping revealed two closely adjacent quantitative trait loci on parasite …

Ocular toxoplasmosis is a retinitis–almost always accompanied by vitritis and choroiditis–
caused by intraocular infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Depending on retinal location, this …

Toxoplasmosis is a widely distributed zoonotic infection caused by the obligate intracellular
apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It is mainly transmitted through the ingestion of …
