A single chromosome unexpectedly links highly divergent isolates of Toxoplasma gondii.

mBio - 1 Jan 2012

Walzer Katelyn A, Boyle Jon P

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can cause disease in all warm-blooded animals studied to date, including humans. Over a billion people have been infected with this parasite worldwide. In Europe and North America, Toxoplasma has a clonal population structure, where only three lineages are highly dominant (strain types I, II, and III). Khan et al. [mBio 2(6): e00228-11, 2011] have...
