Extrachromosomal DNA in the Apicomplexa. [PDF]
Microbiology and molecular biology reviews : MMBR, 1997 Malaria and related apicomplexan parasites have two highly conserved organellar genomes: one is of plastid (pl) origin, and the other is mitochondrial (mt). The organization of both organellar DNA molecules from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has been determined, and they have been shown to be tightly packed with genes.

Crystals, 2022 A model for parasitic motility has been proposed in which parasite filamentous actin (F-actin) is attached to surface adhesins by a large component of the glideosome, known as the glideosome-associated connector protein (GAC).

Identification and Validation of Toxoplasma gondii Mitoribosomal Large Subunit Components
Microorganisms, 2022 Mitochondrial ribosomes are fundamental to mitochondrial function, and thus survival, of nearly all eukaryotes. Despite their common ancestry, mitoribosomes have evolved divergent features in different eukaryotic lineages.

Circadian rhythms and circadian clock gene homologs of complex alga Chromera velia
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Most organisms on Earth are affected by periodic changes in their environment. The circadian clock is an endogenous device that synchronizes behavior, physiology, or biochemical processes to an approximately 24-hour cycle, allowing organisms to ...

Rosettes integrity protects Plasmodium vivax of being phagocytized
Scientific Reports, 2020 Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent cause of malaria outside of Africa. P. vivax biology and pathogenesis are still poorly understood. The role of one highly occurring phenotype in particular where infected reticulocytes cytoadhere to noninfected ...

The Long and Short of Next Generation Sequencing for Cryptosporidium Research
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 The intestinal parasite Cryptosporidium is a significant cause of severe diarrhoeal disease that can have long term effects. Therapeutic options remain limited despite a significant impact on public health, partly due to various challenges in the field ...

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2021 Colpodella species are free living bi-flagellated protists that prey on algae and bodonids in a process known as myzocytosis. Colpodella species are phylogenetically related to Apicomplexa. We investigated the life cycle of Colpodella sp. (ATCC 50594) to
