Toxoplasma gondii infection accelerates the progression of hereditary spastic paraplegia

James R. Alvin, Carlos J. Ramírez‐Flores, Caitlin A. Mendina, Anjon Audhya, Laura J. Knoll, Molly M. Lettman

This study investigates how chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection affects neurodegenerative disease progression in a rat model of hereditary spastic paraplegia, finding exacerbated symptoms in infected rats.

Host cell-specific metabolism of linoleic acid controls Toxoplasma gondii growth in cell culture

Nicole D. Hryckowian, Carlos J. Ramírez‐Flores, Caitlin Zinda, Sung Chul Park, Martin T. Kelty, Laura J. Knoll

This study shows that Caco-2 cells support Toxoplasma gondii growth despite high linoleic acid levels, unlike human foreskin fibroblasts where LA inhibits parasite growth.
