Abstract
The fine structure and reproductive mechanisms of Toxoplasma gondii are described in a case of toxoplasma encephalitis. Replication was observed in glial cells by an internal budding process: endodyogeny. Distinctive ultrastructural features associated with host cell penetration, and encystation are described. Electron microscopic features previously reported in tissue culture and in experimentally produced infections with T. gondii are confirmed in the human brain tissue.This publication has 34 references indexed in Scilit:
