This study shows that Trichomonas vaginalis extracellular vesicles suppress IFNϵ-mediated protection against host cell cytolysis by down-regulating interferon-epsilon and type I interferon responses.

The paper compares neuronal transcriptional responses to Toxoplasma gondii and RNA viruses, identifying conserved and pathogen-specific immune responses in neurons.

This study investigates the role of Toxoplasma gondii type II effector GRA15 in vivo, finding it has a limited impact on brain parasite burden and immune cell numbers at 3 weeks post-infection.

This study shows that IFN-γ stimulated murine and human neurons can clear Toxoplasma gondii parasites, challenging the dogma that neurons cannot mount anti-parasitic defenses.
