Study and application of surface antigen in tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii

: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that infects all warm-blooded animals. The surface antigens of T. gondii with the potential for application as antigens of diagnosis and vaccines have been studied extensively in recent years, especially for P43, P35, P30, P23 and P22. The studies on the surface antigen in tachyzoites of T. gondii are reviewed in this paper.
