 Toxoplasma gondii: an obligate intracellular protozoal parasite.
Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed parasite that
infects virtually all warm-blooded animals and causes significant
opportunistic disease in humans. It is an obligate intracellular pathogen and a member of the phylum Apicomplexa with notable relatives being Plasmodium spp.
Our work focuses on the host-parasite interaction using genetic and cell biology based methods to investigate gene expression and signaling changes in both the host and parasite.
