Downregulation of the central noradrenergic system by <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> infection

2018-06-14

Abstract excerpt

The parasitic protozoan Toxoplasma gondii becomes encysted in brain and muscle tissue during chronic infection, a stage that was previously thought to be dormant but has been found to be active and associated with physiological effects in the host. Dysregulation of catecholamines in the CNS has previously been observed in chronically-infected animals. In the study described here, the noradrenergic system was supp...
