Polymeric guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) physically dismember the vacuole membrane formed by Toxoplasma gondii while nitric oxide (NO) poisons and inhibits parasite replication within interferon (IFN)-γ activated macrophages. Zhao et al. report a novel mechanism for synergy between these classical microbicidal and microbistatic effectors in cell-autonomous immunity to the intracellular parasites.

Background: The fabrication of anti-Toxoplasma drugs with less side effects and desirable efficacy is one of the important research goals facing with toxoplasmosis. This study aimed to determine the anti-Toxoplasma effects of Cinnamon zeylanicum (CZ), Moringa oleifera (MO) oil encapsulated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs).
Methods: Vero cells were cultured with serial concentrations (1 mg/mL to 100 µg/mL) of CZ-SLNs and MO-SLNs in DMEM culture medium.

Background: We aimed to investigate the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of miltefosine on RH strain by various techniques.
Methods: The study was conducted at the Department of Parasitology and Mycology, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Iran in 2020. Four groups of five BALB/c mice were selected.

The effects of decoquinate (DCQ) and three -quinoline-carbamate-derivatives were investigated using human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF) infected with tachyzoites. These compounds exhibited half-maximal proliferation inhibition (ICs) from 1.7 (RMB060) to 60 nM (RMB055).
