Inorganic nanoparticles kill Toxoplasma gondii via changes in redox status and mitochondrial membrane potential

This study evaluated the anti-Toxoplasma gondii potential of gold, silver, and platinum nanoparticles (NPs). Inorganic NPs (0.01–1,000 µg/mL) were screened for antiparasitic activity. The NPs caused >90% inhibition of T. gondii growth with EC(50) values of ≤7, ≤1, and ≤100 µg/mL for gold, silver,...
