Publication year: 2011 Source: Experimental Parasitology, Available online 12 October 2011 Samira Azzouz, Mimoun Maache, Antonio Osuna, Philippe Lawton, Anne Françoise Pétavy Toxoplasma gondii is an ubiquitous intracellular parasite, causative agent of toxoplasmosis, and a worldwide zoonosis for which an effective vaccine is needed. A group of proteins secreted by tachyzoites during host-cell invasion was isolated from the interaction medium. It induced the permeability of the cells as assessed by alpha-sarcin and consequently facilitated the entry of the parasite into the cells
