Infection with Toxoplasma gondii triggers coagulation at the blood-brain barrier and a reduction in cerebral blood flow by Evelyn M. Hoover, Christine A. Schneider, Christian Crouzet, Tatiane S. Lima, Dario X. Figueroa Velez, Cuong J. Tran, Dritan Agalliu, Sunil P. Gandhi, Bernard Choi, Melissa B. Lodoen

“…Finally, we demonstrate that treatment of mice with a low-molecular-weight heparin, an anticoagulant, during infection partially rescued CBF in T. gondii-infected mice without affecting parasite burden. Conclusions Our data provide insight into the host-pathogen interactions of a CNS parasite within the brain vasculature and suggest that thrombosis and changes in cerebral hemodynamics may be an unappreciated aspect of infection with T. gondii.…”
