Brief description Many microbial pathogens become resistant to host immune response and drugs by entering a slow-growing, dormant state. These stages are commonly responsible for long term, chronic infections. We will investigate the molecular basis of dormancy in Toxoplasma gondii, which infects one in three people. These studies will identify metabolic pathways that are essential for dormancy with the view of developing new therapies for treating long term, recurrent infections.
