Abstract

Apicomplexan parasites have been shown to elicit a potent, cell-mediated immune response that can not only efficiently control the growth of the invading parasite, but also lead to nonspecific resistance to unrelated pathogens. In this study, we identified a cross-protective antigen of Plasmodium falciparum able to control Toxoplasma gondii infection.
