The reaction chemistry in the afterglow of a non-equilibrium, capacitive discharge, operated
at 600 Torr total pressure with (0.5 to 5.0) × 10 17 cm -3 of oxygen in helium, has been …

Tachyzoites of the Apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii cause acute infection, disseminate
widely in their host, and eventually differentiate into a latent encysted form called bradyzoites …

Circadian rhythms align physiological functions with the light–dark cycle through oscillatory
changes in the abundance of proteins in the clock transcriptional programme. Timely …

Environmental pH is a critical parameter for maintenance of the gut microbiota. Here, the
impact of pH on the gut microbiota luminal and mucosal community structure and short chain …

BACKGROUND Several molecular imaging strategies can identify bacterial infections in
humans. PET affords the potential for sensitive infection detection deep within the body. Among …

The tissue cyst of Toxoplasma gondii , found in latent infection, serves a critical role in both
transmission and reactivation of this organism. Within infected cells, slowly replicating …

Microsporidia are opportunistic intracellular pathogens that can infect a wide variety of hosts
ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates. During invasion, the microsporidian polar tube …

In immunocompromised hosts, latent infection with Toxoplasma gondii can reactivate from
tissue cysts, leading to encephalitis. A characteristic of T. gondii bradyzoites in tissue cysts is …

The protozoan intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii forms latent cysts in the central
nervous system (CNS) and persists for the lifetime of the host. This cyst is cloaked with a …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite that infects warm-blooded
vertebrates, including humans. Asexual reproduction in T. gondii allows it to switch …
