Genetic approaches for understanding virulence in Toxoplasma gondii.

Briefings in functional genomics - 1 Nov 2011

Weilhammer Dina R, Rasley Amy

Abstract excerpt

Virulence of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is highly variable and dependent upon the genotype of the parasite. The application of forward and reverse genetic approaches for understanding the genetic basis of virulence has resulted in the identification of several members of the ROP family as key mediators of virulence. More recently, modern genomic techniques have been used to address strain...
