Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host-Specificity and Threats. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSpecies interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...

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

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 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.

ATP, an extracellular signaling molecule in red blood cells: A messenger for malaria?
Biomedical Journal, 2014 Adenosine 5′ triphosphate (ATP), discovered in 1929 by Karl Lohmannest, is described as an essential energy source for cells. In the biochemistry of all living organisms, ATP hydrolysis provides the energy required for the chemical reactions of ...

Sexual Development in Non-Human Parasitic Apicomplexa: Just Biology or Targets for Control?
Animals, 2021 The phylum Apicomplexa is a major group of protozoan parasites including gregarines, coccidia, haemogregarines, haemosporidia and piroplasms, with more than 6000 named species. Three of these subgroups, the coccidia, hemosporidia, and piroplasms, contain

Droplet digital PCR as a tool for investigating dynamics of cryptic symbionts
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Interactions among symbiotic organisms and their hosts are major drivers of ecological and evolutionary processes. Monitoring the infection patterns among natural populations and identifying factors affecting these interactions are critical for ...

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 ...
