In Toxoplasma gondii, dense granules are known as the storage secretory organelles of the
so-called GRA proteins (for dense granule proteins), which are destined to the …

Phylum Apicomplexa comprises a large group of obligate intracellular parasites of high
medical and veterinary importance. These organisms succeed intracellularly by effecting …

The eukaryotic phylum Apicomplexa encompasses thousands of obligate intracellular
parasites of humans and animals with immense socio-economic and health impacts. We …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that invades host cells and replicates
within a unique parasitophorous vacuole. To maintain this intracellular niche, the parasite …

Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium species are obligatory intracellular parasites that
export proteins into the infected cells in order to interfere with host‐signalling pathways …

The ability of Toxoplasma gondii to inject the rhoptry kinase ROP16 into host cells results in
the activation of the transcription factors STAT3 and STAT6, but it is unclear how these …

Intracellular single-celled parasites belonging to the large phylum Apicomplexa are amongst
the most prevalent and morbidity-causing pathogens worldwide. In this review, we highlight …

The apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii induces strong protective immunity dependent upon
recognition by Toll-like receptors (TLR) 11 and 12 operating in conjunction with MyD88 in …

Control of the host cell is crucial to the Apicomplexan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, while it
grows intracellularly. To achieve this goal, these single‐celled eukaryotes export a series of …

The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii strikes a subtle balance with the host
immune system that not only prevents host death but also promotes parasite persistence …
