    Screening the MMV Pathogen Box reveals the mitochondrial bc1-complex as a drug target in mature Toxoplasma gondii bradyzoites

    Deborah Maus, Elyzana Putrianti ... Martin Blume
    Inhibiting the mitochondrial bc1-complex disrupts energy production in mature Toxoplasma gondii bradyzoites, suggesting a metabolic vulnerability in the parasite's chronic, drug-resistant stage.
