General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function disruption of the DegP gene does not impact the parasite lytic cycle in vitro but affects virulence in mice. In a type I strain, DegP appears dispensable for the establishment of an infection, but removal of DegP in a type II strain dramatically impairs the virulence. Type II parasites lacking DegP activity kill immunodeficient mice as efficiently as the wild-type strain Toxoplasma gondii
