CXCL10 and toxoplasmosis: The present data demonstrate that CXCL-10 (also known as IFN-γ-induced protein 10 or IP-10) is the most persistent chemokine in the brain of L. donovani infected mice, which was shown to be involved in the neuropathogenesis of canine VL40 and in other protozoan infections, including cerebral malaria, toxoplasmosis and African trypanosomiasis41–43.
