The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii was discovered a little over 100 years ago,
but knowledge of its biological life cycle and its medical importance has grown in the last 40 …

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 …

Infections by the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii are widely prevalent in humans and
animals in Brazil. The burden of clinical toxoplasmosis in humans is considered to be very …

In recent years, an extensive collection of Toxoplasma gondii samples have been typed
using a set of 10 PCR-RFLP genetic markers. Here we summarize the data reported until the …
