A Coccidia-Specific Phosphate Transporter Is Essential for the Growth of Toxoplasma gondii Parasites

ABSTRACT Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that acquires all necessary nutrients from the hosts, but the exact nutrient acquisition mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we identified three putative phosphate transporters in T. gondii. TgPiT and TgPT2 are mainly on the plasma...
