A Toxoplasma gondii putative arginine transporter localizes to the plant-like vacuolar compartment and controls parasite extracellular survival and stage differentiation

Federica Piro, Silvia Masci, Geetha Kannan…·Manlio Di Cristina

This study identifies TgAAT1, a putative arginine transporter in Toxoplasma gondii, which localizes to the PLVAC and is essential for extracellular survival and bradyzoite differentiation.
