The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) infecting domestic horses (Equus ferus caballus)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
The complete mitochondrial genome of Eimeria leuckarti (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) was obtained. This morphologically distinctive coccidium is considered to be the only valid Eimeria species of equids and it infects a range of both domestic and ...

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

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

Structural Insights Into the Function of Leishmania major Adenylosuccinate Lyase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of several intriguing aspects of kinetoplastid biochemistry is the complete dependence on host purines and purine recycling due to the lack of a de novo purine biosynthesis pathway. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL, EC 4.3.2.2) is a key enzyme in the purine synthesis pathway responsible for the conversion of adenylosuccinate into adenosine ...

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.

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

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

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.

Clinical, laboratory and epidemiological aspects of Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis infection: a integrative review [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Cryptosporidium parvum and Cryptosporidium hominis infection causes cryptosporidiosis, which in humans can result in watery diarrhea that is usually self-limited in immunocompetent individuals, but can be chronic and fatal in immunocompromised ...
