Toxoplasma Type II, is responsible for most human infections in Europe and North America.

We now show that its own fatty acid elongation pathway supports its survival and persistence in animals.

If you are looking to enhance your parasitology network in and around Scotland - go to this 👇 and get involved in SPPIRIT if not already

[SPPIRIT Network @SPPIRITnetwork]

Join us on March 20th, 3 pm British time for SPPIRIT Forum meeting! We will explore the differences in research of different parasites, from the techniques available to day-to-day lab work, with our invited speakers, covering kinetoplastids, apicomplexans, and schisto.

Care for some #toxoplasma with your beer?
Bear-poop-beer story by @colbertlateshow is making toxoplasma great again.

Musk or Colbert the outcome is the same: @NIH @NIAIDNews fund more #toxoplasmaresearch !!

Perkinsus marinus is an important marine pathogen yet we know little about its biology.

Andrew Maclean and colleagues reports complexome work of whole parasite and mitochondria mapping the essential mitochondrial enzymes and kickstarting future functional studies 👇

What is the impact of malaria infection on vaccinations for other diseases? how should we think about vaccines compromised by malaria?

How does the parasite causing toxoplasmosis makes the essential proteins in its mitochondrion via an extremely fragmented mito-ribosome?

Congratulations @gordon_awandare richly deserved

Key sentence from Victor's talk at @WCIPGLASGOW @UofGSii today - "it just works, it just works!" (referring to mitochondrial ribosomes and discussing their extreme divergent features)

Great to have Victor on board with us here at Glasgow!
