Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that is estimated to infect one-third of the world’s population. It is acquired by ingesting contaminated water and food specially undercooked meat, contact with domestic or wild feline feces, and during pregnancy …

Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide opportunistic protozoan causing life-threatening infection in immunocompromised patients, while frequently asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals. The current study aimed to detect T. gondii; serologically and …

Toxoplasmosis is a ubiquitous parasitic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii (Tg). In immunocompetent people, the infection may be asymptomatic with the induction of an immune response that may prevent reinfection or transmission to the fetus in …

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a parasite that obtains the iron it needs for its own metabolism from the host-cell iron pool. In this work, we aimed to investigate if iron supplementation or deficiency affected the course of T. gondii infection.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii, a common protozoan in the Apicomplexa phylum. Several studies in Iran have demonstrated the presence of the parasite in various hosts, but no data on T. gondii genotyping …

Disruption of GABAergic signaling could exaggerate the inflammatory reaction associated with Toxoplasma gondii infection, as well as produce neurophysiological consequences including seizures that occur within the brain tissues. The current study …

Considerable evidence points to a dominant role of inflammation in tumor pathology. The biological response of the immune system can be triggered by Toxoplasma gondii as a common brain-tropic parasite. The aim of this study was to investigate an …

Rats serve as carriers of Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that causes a global zoonotic disease referred to as toxoplasmosis, and thus play a very important role in the epidemiology of the disease. This study …

Passerine birds are widely distributed and adapted to various habitats, therefore they are commonly exposed to, and infected with Toxoplasma gondii. The purpose of our project was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of T. gondii in 31 …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. It has been shown that the severity of symptoms depends on the functioning of the host immune system. Although T. gondii infection typically does not lead to severe …
