À propos de ce livre

This is the only book to cover toxoplasmosis of animals and humans thoroughly in one single source. Found worldwide from Alaska to Australasia, Toxoplasma gondii is the cause of one of the most common parasitic infections in humans, livestock, companion animals, and wildlife, and is included on the list of potential bioterrorism microbes. Furthermore, T. gondii has been and continues to be used extensively as a model for the cell biology of apicomplexan parasites.

In the decade since the second edition of this book was published, there has been an explosion of knowledge concerning the parasite Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis. This update provides unique information on all known host types for this parasite, with an additional chapter on history, substantial updates throughout, and a detailed focus on the biology of the parasite in Chapter 2. The third edition is compiled by author JP Dubey, an authority on T. gondii who has worked with virtually all hosts of the protozoan during the last 55 years, including humans, all livestock species, wildlife, and zoo animals.

The book distills the voluminous and potentially confusing scientific literature, that has grown geometrically in the 30+ years since the publication of the first edition, into a comprehensive resource for all professionals, graduate students and researchers working in this field.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction and History of Toxoplasma gondii

1.1 Introduction and History

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most well-studied parasites because of its medical and veterinary importance. It is used extensively as a model for cell biology of apicomplexan organisms. Two recently published books provide an update of its cell biology, molecular biology, and methods to study it.1228,1311 Some of the advantages of using this parasite for cell biology are as follows: T. gondii is large enough to be easily seen under the light microscope, can be grown in virtually any warm-blooded cell line, can be maintained indefinitely in mice and cell culture, and there is only one species that infects all hosts. Additionally, this parasite is readily amenable to genetic manipulation, with refined protocols for classic and reverse genetics, high transfection efficiency, and expression of epitope tags. Recently a book was published that detailed methods to study its cell biology and genetic manipulation.1228 The third edition of the book “Toxoplasma gondii”: The Model Apicomplexan-Perspective and Methods has 1,184 pages contributed by numerous expert in the field.1311
It has been more than a century since the discovery of the parasite in 1908 and the event was celebrated with publication of historical accounts of the parasite and its biology.394,399,491,911,1310 Historic landmarks are summarized in Table 1.1.
