Success and virulence in Toxoplasma as the result of sexual recombination between two distinct ancestries.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 5 Oct 2001

Grigg M E, Bonnefoy S, Hehl A B, Suzuki Y, Boothroyd J C

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is a common human pathogen causing serious, even fatal, disease in the developing fetus and in immunocompromised patients. Despite its ability to reproduce sexually and its broad geographic and host range, Toxoplasma has a clonal population structure comprised principally of thr...
