Local admixture of amplified and diversified secreted pathogenesis determinants shapes mosaic Toxoplasma gondii genomes

Local admixture of amplified and diversified secreted pathogenesis determinants shapes mosaic Toxoplasma gondii genomes

Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that causes zoonotic infections in humans. Here, the authors identify tandem amplification and diversification of secretory pathogenesis determinants in the T. gondiigenome and show that clade-specific inheritance of conserved haploblocks enriched for these determinan...
