Identification of quantitative trait loci controlling acute virulence in Toxoplasma gondii.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 6 Aug 2002

Abstract excerpt

Strains of Toxoplasma gondii can be grouped into three predominant clonal lineages with members of the type I group being uniformly lethal in mice. To elucidate the basis of this extreme virulence, a genetic cross was performed between a highly virulent type I strain (GT-1) and a less-virulent ty...
