Pathogenic apicomplexan parasites like Toxoplasma and Plasmodium (malaria) have
complex life cycles consisting of multiple stages. The ability to differentiate from one stage to …

Isolates of Toxoplasma gondii, which is responsible for a wide range of clinical manifestations
are grouped into three clonal lineages of different virulence in mice. However, it is not …

Bracoviruses are symbiotic viruses associated with tens of thousands of species of parasitic
wasps that develop within the body of lepidopteran hosts and that collectively parasitize …

To investigate the vaccine potential of both the Toxoplasma GRA2 and GRA6 antigens, the
full length recombinant proteins were produced in Escherichia coli, formulated in MPL …

Bracoviruses represent the most complex endogenous viral elements (EVEs) described to
date. Nudiviral genes have been hosted within parasitoid wasp genomes since approximately …

Field isolates of Toxoplasma gondii in Europe and North America have been grouped into
three clonal lineages that display different virulence in mice. Whether the genetic structure of …

Endogenous viruses form an important proportion of eukaryote genomes and a source of
novel functions. How large DNA viruses integrated into a genome evolve when they confer a …

Bracoviruses (BVs) from the Polydnaviridae family are symbiotic viruses used as biological
weapons by parasitoid wasps to manipulate lepidopteran host physiology and induce …

Plants deploy distinct secondary metabolisms to cope with environment pressure and to
face bio-aggressors notably through the production of biologically active alkaloids. This …

Amphipathic α-helices have been proposed as the general means used by soluble proteins
to induce membrane tubulation. Previous studies had shown that the GRA2 dense granule …
