A unique <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> haplotype under strong selection has accompanied domestic cats in their global expansion

2021-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Toxoplasma gondii is a cyst-forming apicomplexan parasite of virtually all warm-blooded species, with all true cats (Felidae) as definitive hosts. It is the etiologic agent of toxoplasmosis, a disease causing substantial public health burden worldwide. Its wide range of host species and its global occurrence probably complicate the study of its evolutionary history, and conflicting scenarios hav...
