Toxoplasma gondii, endothelial cells and schizophrenia: is it just a barrier matter?
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyToxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular parasite responsible for causing toxoplasmosis. It is estimated that approximately one-third of the world’s population has positive serology for toxoplasmosis. Acute T.

NAD(P) transhydrogenase isoform distribution provides insight into apicomplexan evolution
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Membrane-located NAD(P) transhydrogenase (NTH) catalyses reversible hydride ion transfer between NAD(H) and NADP(H), simultaneously translocating a proton across the membrane. The enzyme is structurally conserved across prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Paving the Way: Contributions of Big Data to Apicomplexan and Kinetoplastid Research
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 In the age of big data an important question is how to ensure we make the most out of the resources we generate. In this review, we discuss the major methods used in Apicomplexan and Kinetoplastid research to produce big datasets and advance our ...

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

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

The Biogeography of Apicomplexan Parasites in Tropical Soils
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.

Repurposing of conserved autophagy-related protein ATG8 in a divergent eukaryote
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Toxoplasma gondii and other apicomplexan parasites contain a peculiar non-photosynthetic plastid called the apicoplast, which is essential for their survival.
