Reviews

This is an exceptional treatment of Toxoplasma gondii - arguably the most successful parasite on our planet. J.P. Dubey has been either the lead of the discoveries or the energetic observer over the past 50 years. The book provides an up-to-date deep dive into the lifecycle, diagnostics and T. gondii-host interactions with practical tips and tricks that make this book a must own for anyone aiming to understand the parasite. J.P. Dubey writes I am still searching for a chemical that will kill T. gondii oocysts without harming humans , confirming his unprecedented life-long affair with the parasite. While we have not completely outsmarted T. gondii, the 21st century toolbox coupled with the biological experiments invented by the pioneers of the trade summarized in this book is moving us closer to the target.
