Toxoplasma gondii-induced host cellular cell cycle dysregulation is linked to chromosome missegregation and cytokinesis failure in primary endothelial host cells

Abstract Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic and intracellular parasite with fast proliferating properties leading to rapid host cell lysis. T. gondii modulates its host cell on numerous functional levels. T. gondii was previously reported to influence host cellular cell cycle and to dampen host cell di...
