Ocular toxoplasmosis is a vision-threatening parasitic eye infection that is common in Australia and worldwide. No treatment cures the disease. This work will characterize cellular and molecular events occuring in the eye during an infection, which is an important first step toward the development of more effective treatments for patients with the condition.

眼弓形虫病是一种威胁视力的寄生性眼部感染，在澳大利亚和世界各地都很常见。没有治疗方法能治愈这种疾病。这项工作将表征感染期间眼睛中发生的细胞和分子事件，这是为患者开发更有效治疗方法的重要第一步。
