<i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> infection triggers chronic cachexia and sustained commensal dysbiosis in mice

2018-01-25

Abstract excerpt

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite with a predation-mediated transmission cycle between rodents and felines. Intermediate hosts acquire Toxoplasma by eating parasite cysts which invade the small intestine, disseminate systemically and finally establish host life-long chronic infection in brain and muscles. Here we show that Toxoplasma infection can trigger a severe form of sustained cachexia: a disease of...
