Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microbial translocation across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a prerequisite for colonization of the central nervous system. The obligate intracellular parasite <italic>Toxoplasma gondii</italic> chronically infects the brain parenchyma of humans and animals, in a remarkably stealthy fashion. Here, we addressed the mechanisms of BBB crossing by intracarotid delivery of parasites and p...
