Successful parasitism relies on the evasion of adversarial host responses. Wang et al. have recently shown that Toxoplasma gondii relies on the protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) to cause persisting infections. The phosphatase controls the development of dormant parasite stages and the accumulation of sugar supplies.
