Key roles of amylopectin synthesis and degradation enzymes in the establishment and reactivation of chronic toxoplasmosis
Abstract Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular parasite with a wide range of hosts, including humans and many warm-blooded animals. The parasite exists in two interconvertible forms, namely tachyzoites and bradyzoites in intermediate hosts that are responsible for acute and chro...
