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.

Why the –omic future of Apicomplexa should include gregarines
Biology of the Cell, 2020 Gregarines, a polyphyletic group of apicomplexan parasites infecting mostly non‐vertebrates hosts, remains poorly known at taxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic levels.

Identification of Sequences Encoding Symbiodinium minutum Mitochondrial Proteins. [PDF]
, 2016 The dinoflagellates are an extremely diverse group of algae closely related to the Apicomplexa and the ciliates. Much work has previously been undertaken to determine the presence of various biochemical pathways within dinoflagellate mitochondria ...

Toxoplasma and Plasmodium protein kinases: roles in invasion and host cell remodelling [PDF]
, 2011 Some apicomplexan parasites have evolved distinct protein kinase families to modulate host cell structure and function. Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein kinases and pseudokinases are involved in virulence and modulation of host cell signalling.

Journal of Natural History, 2005 A current checklist of valid avian species of Babesia, Haemoproteus, Hepatozoon, and Leucocytozoon is presented. Some taxonomic problems which have arisen since the last review are discussed as too are the remaining host family groups of parasites still requiring review.

Evolution: Parallel Paths to Parasitism in the Apicomplexa [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 A new study presents the first comprehensive genome and transcriptome data for an enigmatic group of apicomplexan parasites, the gregarines. The findings provide insights into the early evolution of parasitism in the apicomplexans and illustrate the important contributions of convergent and parallel evolution in the rise of eukaryotic parasites.
