Article Synopsis
- Toxoplasma gondii causes toxoplasmosis, a widespread disease in vertebrates, prompting investigations into its effects on the intestines of infected mice.
- In a study, researchers infected mice with T. gondii and examined the ileum and colon after 60 days, finding significant increases in immune cells and structural changes in the intestine.
- The findings indicate chronic inflammation in the intestines due to T. gondii infection, with increased lymphocytes, mast cells, and specific expression changes, suggesting ongoing intestinal irritation.
