The Availability of Iron Is Involved in the Murine Experimental <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> Infection Outcome.

The iron augmentation was significantly higher in the small intestine and liver of infected mice than in those of non-infected mice ( p = 0.0485 and p = 0.0381, respectively; Figure 1 G,I), and showed a trend to be higher in the lung of infected mice ( Figure 1 H), suggesting that increased iron accumulation in the organs induced by T. gondii infection could be involved in the nutritional need for iron by the parasite. 3.2.
