Malaria accounts for an enormous burden of disease globally, with Plasmodium falciparum
accounting for the majority of malaria, and P. vivax being a second important cause …

The malaria parasite is the most important member of the Apicomplexa, a large and highly
successful phylum of intracellular parasites. Invasion of host cells allows apicomplexan …

Proteins are macromolecules, which perform a large variety of functions. Most of them have
only a single function, but an increasing number of proteins are being identified as …

The commitment of Plasmodium merozoites to invade red blood cells (RBCs) is marked by
the formation of a junction between the merozoite and the RBC and the coordinated …

Most Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites and many are important pathogens of
human and domestic animals. For a successful cell invasion, they rely on their own motility …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite which is a significant
human and veterinary pathogen. Other members of the phylum Apicomplexa are also …

Studies on the biology of the avian species of Eimeria are currently benefiting from the
availability of a comprehensive sequence for the nuclear genome of Eimeria tenella. Allied …

Apicomplexan parasites, including Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium sp., are obligate
intracellular protozoa. They enter into a host cell by attaching to and then creating an …

This 2e of Toxoplasma gondii reflects the significant advances in the field in the last 5 years,
including new information on the genomics, epigenomics and proteomics of T. gondii as well …

Intracellular parasites use various strategies to invade cells and to subvert cellular signaling
pathways and, thus, to gain a foothold against host defenses. Efficient cell entry, ability to …
