Abstract The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii can infect humans and virtually all warm-blooded animals worldwide, posing a significant threat to public health and being of veterinary importance. Acute infections are characterized by the fast replication of tachyzoites inside host cells. During this fast amplification process, gene expression is highly regulated by a series of regulatory networks.
