<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>Strains Defective in Oral Transmission Are Also Defective in Developmental Stage Differentiation
6 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Toxoplasma gondii undergoes differentiation from rapidly growing tachyzoites to slowly growing bradyzoites during its life cycle in the intermediate host, and conversion can be induced in vitro by stress. Representative strains of the three clonal lineages showed equal capacity to differentiate into bradyzoites in vitro, as evidenced by induction of bradyzoite antigen 1, staining with Dolichos biflorus lectin...
