Brief description The single-celled intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii is the cause of Toxoplasmosis and can be the basis of illness in immunocompromised individuals, eye disease and congenital birth defects. After host cell recognition Toxoplasma needs to activate the invasion machinery to establish a successful infection. We will reveal, at the molecular level, how Toxoplasma achieves this and then screen for drugs that inhibit this process. Compounds identified in this project could act as lead compounds to develop new treatments for Toxoplasmosis.
