Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, an
infection with high prevalence worldwide. Most of the infected individuals are either …

Toxoplasma gondii, a human pathogen of the Apicomplexa phylum, is an obligate
intracellular parasite, ie, a microbe that must reside within a foreign cell to survive and …

Apicomplexan actin is important during the parasite's life cycle. Its polymerization kinetics
are unusual, permitting only short, unstable F-actin filaments. It has not been possible to …

The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii possesses a repertoire of 11 myosins.
Three class XIV motors participate in motility, invasion and egress, whereas the class XXII …

Toxoplasma gondii contains a limited subset of actin binding proteins. Here we show that
the putative actin regulator cyclase-associated protein (CAP) is present in two different …

The Apicomplexa are famously named for their apical complex, a constellation of organelles
at their apical end dedicated to invasion of their host cells. In contrast, at the other end of the …

Toxoplasma gondii possesses a highly polarized secretory system, which efficiently
assembles de novo micronemes and rhoptries during parasite replication. These apical …

Neospora caninum is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite responsible for causing
neosporosis in a range of animal species. It results in substantial economic losses in the …

Toxoplasma gondii possesses an armada of secreted virulent factors that enable parasite
invasion and survival into host cells. These factors are contained in specific secretory …

Background The safe use in biomedicine of semiconductor nanoparticles, also known as
quantum dots (QDs), requires a detailed understanding of the biocompatibility and toxicity of …
