Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic protozoan parasite with a heteroxenus life cycle that involves felids as the definitive hosts and any warm-blooded animal, including humans, as intermediate hosts. Cats...

PMID: 34835471
The apicomplexan zoonotic parasite has three infective stages: sporozoites in sporulated oocysts, which are shed in unsporulated form into the environment by infected felids; tissue cysts containing bradyzoites, and fast...

PMID: 33789945
The environmental stage of the apicomplexan oocyst is vital to its life cycle but largely understudied. Because oocysts are excreted only by infected felids, their availability for research is limited....

PMID: 32882286
Toxoplasma gondii has a worldwide distribution and infects virtually all warm-blooded animals, including humans. Ingestion of the environmentally resistant oocyst stage, excreted only in the feces of cats, is central...

PMID: 26194054
Apicomplexan parasites including Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium species have complex life cycles that include multiple hosts and differentiation through several morphologically distinct stages requiring marked changes in gene expression. This...
