The flexibility of Apicomplexa parasites in lipid metabolism
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites responsible for major human infectious diseases such as toxoplasmosis and malaria, which pose social and economic burdens around the world.

Mobilome of Apicomplexa Parasites
Genes, 2022 Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements found in the majority of eukaryotic genomes. Genomic studies of protozoan parasites from the phylum Apicomplexa have only reported a handful of TEs in some species and a complete absence in others.

The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionParasitic protists such as Apicomplexa, an abundant group of soil protists, contribute to ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling in belowground soil systems through their obligate symbioses with soil Metazoa.

PacBio next-generation sequencing uncovers Apicomplexa diversity in different habitats
Scientific Reports, 2023 The phylum Apicomplexa comprises a large group of intracellular protozoan parasites. These microorganisms are known to infect a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts, leading to significant medical and veterinary conditions such as toxoplasmosis ...

Essential Genes of the Parasitic Apicomplexa [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2021 Genome-scale mutagenesis screens for genes essential for apicomplexan parasite survival have been completed in three species: Plasmodium falciparum, the major human malaria parasite, Plasmodium berghei, a model rodent malaria parasite, and the more distantly related Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis. These three species share 2606

A New Conditional Transcription Factor for Use in Toxoplasma Gondii. [PDF]
Biotechnol JGraphical Abstract and Lay Summary A new conditional transcription factor (CTF) for Toxoplasma gondii reversibly regulates a reporter gene, achieving an outstanding signal‐to‐noise ratio. Gene expression is robust in the absence and nearly abolished in the presence of rapamycin, and the tool's modular design will facilitate application to varied genes ...

Prospects for elucidating the phylogeny of the Apicomplexa [PDF]
Parasite, 2008 The Apicomplexa is traditionally considered to contain four clearly defined groups, but the phylogenetic relationships among these groups, and their subsequent taxonomic arrangement, are currently unclear. Here, I consider five of the important criteria that need to be met before radical taxonomic changes are made, in relation to phylogenetic analyses.

Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eucoccidiorida) of Freshwater Fish
MicroorganismsThe phylum Apicomplexa includes endoparasites of fish worldwide, which cause parasitic infections that can adversely affect productivity in aquaculture. They are considered bioindicators of water pollution. Piscine apicomplexan parasites can be divided into two major groups: the intracellular blood parasites (Adeleorina) and the coccidians (Eimeriorina)

The Actomyosin Systems in Apicomplexa [PDF]
, 2020 The phylum of Apicomplexa groups obligate intracellular parasites that exhibit unique classes of unconventional myosin motors. These parasites also encode a limited repertoire of actins, actin-like proteins, actin-binding proteins and nucleators of filamentous actin (F-actin) that display atypical properties.
