From parasite genomes to one healthy world: Are we having fun yet? [PDF]
, 2009 In 1990, the Human Genome Sequencing Project was established. This laid the ground work for an explosion of sequence data that has since followed. As a result of this effort, the first complete genome of an animal, Caenorhabditis elegans was published in

Life history of Monocystis parasites and genetic diversity of their hosts, the invasive Amynthas earthworms [PDF]
, 2016 Monocystis is a parasites in the phylum Apicomplexa that infects nearly 100% of earthworms; however, the parasites have low survivorship, low production of transmissible gametocysts, and seemingly lack schizogony.

Are Colpodella Species Pathogenic? Nutrient Uptake and Approaches to Diagnose Infections
PathogensColpodella species are free-living protists phylogenetically related to apicomplexans. Colpodella sp. have been detected in human and animal tissues, as well as in ticks and biting flies.

Tropical Principal Component Analysis and its Application to Phylogenetics [PDF]
, 2017 Principal component analysis is a widely-used method for the dimensionality reduction of a given data set in a high-dimensional Euclidean space. Here we define and analyze two analogues of principal component analysis in the setting of tropical geometry.

Prokaryotic ancestry and gene fusion of a dual localized peroxiredoxin in malaria parasites
Microbial Cell, 2015 Horizontal gene transfer has emerged as a crucial driving force for the evolution of eukaryotes. This also includes Plasmodium falciparum and related economically and clinically relevant apicomplexan parasites, whose rather small genomes have been shaped

Colpodella spp.–like Parasite Infection in Woman, China
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 The phylum Apicomplexa comprises intracellular protozoa that include many human pathogens. Their nearest relatives are chromerids and colpodellids. We report a case of a Babesia spp.–like relapsing infection caused by a newly described microorganism ...
