Morphology and Culture of Toxoplasma

Feline Toxoplasmosis from Acutely Infected Mice and the Development of Toxoplasma Cysts*

“…gondii. This possibility is supported by the finding of cysts in cell culture in the probable absence of immune factors (15,20), although as shown by Shimada et al (22), cyst formation is promoted by the presence of antibody. As indicated by a short prepatent period, cysts are developed by Toxoplasma in cultures ( 14).…”

An ancestral bacterial division system is widespread in eukaryotic mitochondria

“…2). Meanwhile, a number of the lineages lacking Min proteins are known to possess reticulate mitochondria in at least one tissue and during at least one life stage, including opisthokonts (77), plants (78,79), the euglenozoan Euglena gracilis (80), and apicomplexa (81,82) (Fig. 2).…”

Spontaneous cystogenesis of Toxoplasma gondii in feline epithelial cells in vitro

“…these structures were similar to those involved in the formation of a cyst wall, especially after 10 days of infection. However, different results can be found in the literature, ranging from 6-7 days (shimada et al 1974(shimada et al , Hoff et al 1977, 20-21 days (Hogan et al 1960) or up to 40-80 days as described by Jones et al (1986), depending on the method used to evaluate the kinetics of in vitro cystogenesis.…”
