Figure 11. Fate of egressed parasites.

Figure 11

Donor and host mice were infected for 5d with YFP-RH or wild-type RH, respectively. Exudates from 4 donors (verified to have similarly progressed toxoplasmosis) were pooled and divided into aliquots that were either centrifuged for 2 min (discarding the pellet) to enrich recently egressed parasites (Spun), or held at 4°C (Control). Each aliquot was transferred to a group of 5 host mice, of which 3 expressed transgenic CFP to mark host cells in order to monitor egress (not shown). Recovery of donor parasite was monitored by sequential paracentesis and normalized to the 1 h values for each host animal. * p < 0.05. The data are representative of two similar experiments.
