The paper uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze immune cell interactions in asymptomatic and symptomatic malaria patients, finding reduced monocyte-T cell interactions and increased inflammation in symptomatic cases.

This study shows that latent Toxoplasma gondii infection reduces visceral nociception in mice via peripheral opioid receptor signaling, suggesting a potential negative link with abdominal pain in humans.

This study identifies the protective functions and differentiation cues of brain-resident CD8+ T cells during chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection using a mouse model and single-cell transcriptomics.
