This disease is characterised by cyst formation in the skin and mucosa. During early infection, fast proliferating tachyzoites invade and replicate within host endothelial cells. In non-excitable cells, extracellular signals activate the inositol-triphosphate\/calcium (InsP3\/Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) pathway, which depends on phospholipase C (PLC) activation, inducing an increase in IP\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    levels, followed by intracellular Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    release. Despite the understanding of Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    signalling, this process in\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti<\/jats:italic>\n                    tachyzoites is unclear. This work aimed to study Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    dynamics during\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection in bovine umbilical vein endothelial cells (BUVEC) and the role of the InsP\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    \/Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    pathway during\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection. Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    dynamics during tachyzoite replication were determined in\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti-<\/jats:italic>\n                    infected BUVEC loaded with fluo-4-AM.

PLC activation was studied in fluo-4-loaded free tachyzoites using the PLC activator m-3M3FBS, in the presence or absence of PLC inhibitors. Current data show an infection-driven increase in total Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    signals in\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti<\/jats:italic>\n                    -infected BUVEC over time. BAPTA, but not EGTA, treatments of tachyzoites affected their invasion, reducing infection rates by 85.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.3%, suggesting that intracellular Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    sources are necessary for\n                    <jats:italic>B. besnoiti<\/jats:italic>\n                    invasion. In line, treatments with U73122 and D609 reduced infection rates by 79.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a09.4% and 49.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08.9%, respectively, demonstrating that PLC participation is required for host cell infection.
