The protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii, is a natural pathogen of mouse and a zoonosis of man. Immunity against the pathogen is largely mediated by interferon-stimulated cell-autonomous mechanisms that are strikingly different between man and mouse. There are many poorly understood host and pathogen variables that affect the outcome of infection.
