This study shows that H2A.X in Toxoplasma gondii is not essential for DNA damage response but regulates cell cycle progression and virulence gene expression.

This paper investigates the role of fatty acid elongases (FAE) in Toxoplasma gondii type II strains, showing their importance for virulence, persistence, and lipid metabolism under stress.

This study characterizes Toxoplasma gondii strains causing ovine abortion in Uruguay, revealing non-clonal diversity and multiple evolutionary origins linked to human infections.

This study identifies TgGSK as an essential kinase in Toxoplasma gondii that regulates centrosome division and endodyogeny, with roles in RNA processing and interactions with GCN5b.

The paper reevaluates the genomes of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum, revealing misassembly, chromosomal rearrangements, and new genes, with implications for genome-based comparative biology.
