Question

Which one of the following steps in the T. gondii life cycle would you expect to be the primary target of jasplakinolide treatment?

1) Attachment to host cells
2) Invasion of host cells
3) Replication within host cells
4) Release from host cells

Answer 1

Jasplakinolide treatment in the T. gondii life cycle primarily targets the 2) invasion of host cells. Hence, 2) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The primary target of jasplakinolide treatment in the T. gondii life cycle would be invasion of host cells.

Jasplakinolide is a compound that disrupts the actin cytoskeleton, which is essential for the invasion process of T. gondii.
