Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate protozoan parasite that naturally infects all mammals, where it alters the host environment to establish chronic infection. Wang and colleagues uncover a new role for the T. gondii protein GRA15 in inducing an anti-parasite response via the interferon stimulator STING. This parasite-driven host defense limits Toxoplasma replication while maintaining host survival, creating an ideal niche for the establishment of latency.Entities:
