Apicomplexan F-actin is required for efficient nuclear entry during host cell invasion

2019-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The opportunistic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite part of the phylum Apicomplexa, able to infect all warm-blooded animals including humans. Invasion by apicomplexan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii to host cells requires the establishment and crossing through of a small ring-like junctional structure serving as an interface and stabiliser between the pa...
