Toxoplasma gondii invasion and replication within neonate mouse astrocytes and changes in apoptosis related molecules

- Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites totally invade murine astrocytes in four hours.
- Early T. gondii infection induces both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic signals.
- Late infection regulates Survivin, Noxa, Caspase 3/7 and PARP-1.
- T. gondii prevents apoptosis in neonatal mouse astrocytes.
