ROP18 Is a Key Factor Responsible for Virulence Difference between Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum

13 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) and Neospora caninum (N. caninum) are both obligate intracellular protozoan parasites and share many common morphological and biological features. Despite these similarities the two parasites differ dramatically in virulence in mice, but the factors involved in virulence differences between the two parasites remain unknown. A secreted serine-threonine kinase called rhoptry protein 18...
