    Sammanfattning : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that infects all warm-blooded vertebrates including one third of the global human population. While infection is typically asymptomatic in healthy human hosts, reactivated and acute infection in immunosuppressed or immunecompromised individuals can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis After ingestion, the parasite crosses the intestinal epithelium and rapidly achieves systemic dissemination, ultimately establishing chronic infection in the brain.

  3. 2. Novel approaches to mucosal vaccine development Strategies in vaccine antigen production, construction of a novel mucosal adjuvant and studies of its mode of action

    Författare :Manuela Terrinoni; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccine development; plasmid maintenance; Gram-negative bacteria; ; essential genes; complementation; Cholera Toxin; adjuvanticity; NF-kB; mmCT; Gram-negative bacteria;

    Sammanfattning : Although most infections begin at a mucosal surface and may be prevented by effective vaccine stimulation of the local mucosal immune system, there are so far only a few mucosal vaccines available for human use. This thesis spans several areas that are important for future development of mucosal vaccines. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Transmigration of Toxoplasma gondii across biological barriers

    Sammanfattning : Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that can likely infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, with estimates of up to 30% of the global human population being infected. Although infection with T. gondii is usually asymptomatic or mild, in immunocompromised individuals infection can lead to lethal toxoplasmic encephalitis. LÄS MER
