Deskripsi
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that causes zoonotic infections in humans. Here, the authors identify tandem amplification and diversification of secretory pathogenesis determinants in the T. gondiigenome and show that clade-specific inheritance of conserved haploblocks enriched for these determinants shapes population structure.
