Recombinant Mouse Prolactin Confers Partial Protection Against Toxoplasma gondii Infection in a Pre-treated Experimental Murine Model.

Introduction: Toxoplasmosis is one of the most important health-threatening diseases with worldwide distribution and global impact. It is caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), an intracellular apicomplexan parasite that can evade the host immune responses and establish a chronic infection.

Autophagy - related 16 - like 1 single nucleotide gene polymorphism increases the risk and severity of Cryptosporidium parvum infection.

Cryptosporidium parvum (C. parvum) is an intracellular parasite of the intestinal cells. It causes cryptosporidiosis that can be fatal in immunosuppressed individuals.

Toxoplasma gondii as a possible causative pathogen of type-1 diabetes mellitus: Evidence from case-control and experimental studies.

Toxoplasma gondii is the causative parasite of an important worldwide disease. This obligate intracellular parasite can infect and replicate inside any nucleated cells including those of pancreas. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas and is responsible for controlling blood glucose concentration.
