Prediction of early Toxoplasma gondii infection during pregnancy combining host biomarkers and machine learning

This paper develops a machine learning model using serum biomarkers to predict early Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant sheep, achieving high accuracy and sensitivity for early diagnosis.

Tissue-specific transcriptomic responses to early Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep during congenital toxoplasmosis

This study examines early transcriptomic responses to Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant sheep, identifying tissue-specific immune and stress pathways linked to fetal loss.

Bumped kinase inhibitor BKI-1708 interferes in cytokinesis and drives baryzoite stage conversion in the cyst-forming apicomplexan parasites Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum and Besnoitia besnoiti

This study shows that BKI-1708 induces baryzoite formation in T. gondii, N. caninum, and B. besnoiti, which exhibit distinct phenotypic and proteomic features and lack complete cytokinesis.
