The ROP16III-dependent early immune response determines the subacute CNS immune response and type III Toxoplasma gondii survival.
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that persistently infects the CNS and that has genetically distinct strains which provoke different acute immune responses. How differences in the acute immune response affect the CNS immune response is unknown. To address this question, we used two per...
