A novel benzodioxole-containing inhibitor of Toxoplasma gondii growth alters the parasite cell cycle.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can cause disease in the developing fetus and in immunocompromised humans. Infections can last for the life of the individual, and to date there are no drugs that eliminate the chronic cyst stages that are characteristic of this parasite. In an effort to identify new chemical scaffolds that could form the basis for new therapeutics, w...
متن کاملToxoplasma gondii: The Mind-Control Parasite
Cite this article: Claudia F. Dick.” Toxoplasma gondii: The Mind-Control Parasite”. J J Srgy Volume 1, Issue 1: 006 Toxoplasma gondii is an extremely widespread protozoan parasite, with a prevalence of 20-70% in USA. This high prevalence is attributable in part to the HIV pandemic: neurotoxoplasmosis is the most frequent oportunistic infection and the most common cause of brain focal injuries i...
متن کاملLytic cycle of Toxoplasma gondii.
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular pathogen within the phylum Apicomplexa. This protozoan parasite is one of the most widespread, with a broad host range including many birds and mammals and a geographic range that is nearly worldwide. While infection of healthy adults is usually relatively mild, serious disease can result in utero or when the host is immunocompromised. This sophist...
متن کاملOrganellar dynamics during the cell cycle of Toxoplasma gondii.
The protozoan phylum Apicomplexa encompasses approximately 5000 species of obligate intracellular parasites, including those responsible for malaria and toxoplasmosis. Rather than dividing by binary fission, apicomplexans use a remarkable mechanism for replication, assembling daughters de novo within the cytoplasm. Here, we exploit time-lapse microscopy of fluorescent markers targeted to variou...
متن کاملNeurotropic Parasite Toxoplasma gondii and Immunosuppressed Patients
Toxoplasmosis is an anthropozoonosis caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite belonging to the phylum Apicomplexa. It presents a cosmopolitan geographic distribution, with high rates of infection in humans; capable of infecting nucleated cells from a wide variety of hosts. Toxoplasmosis is one of the most common opportunistic infections affecting HIV positiv...
