Morphological features and differential counts of Plasmodium knowlesi parasites in naturally acquired human infections [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Human infections with Plasmodium knowlesi, a simian malaria parasite, are more common than previously thought. They have been detected by molecular detection methods in various countries in Southeast Asia, where they were initially diagnosed ...

Host associations, biogeography, and phylogenetics of avian malaria in southern African waterfowl [PDF]
, 2012 The relevance of spatial variation in the environment and host communities for parasite community composition is poorly documented, creating a need for additional case studies from which general principles can be developed.

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

The Genesis of Malaria: The Origin of Mosquitoes and Their Protistan Cargo, Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
, 2013 Malaria is caused by the parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodium; however, creation biologists maintain this organism was not always parasitic. Plasmodium is probably a degenerate form of algae.

Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences [PDF]
, 2009 There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes.

Endoparasites in birds of Guaribas Biological Reserve, Atlantic Forest, Paraíba state, Brazil
Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2018 This paper describes the findings on endoparasites in Atlantic forest birds at Guaribas Biological Reserve, Paraíba State, Northeast of Brazil. We captured 151 birds with mist nets in ten field expeditions between July 2010 and June 2011 and studied bird

SAS6-like protein in Plasmodium indicates that conoid-associated apical complex proteins persist in invasive stages within the mosquito vector [PDF]
, 2016 The SAS6-like (SAS6L) protein, a truncated paralogue of the ubiquitous basal body/centriole protein SAS6, has been characterised recently as a flagellum protein in trypanosomatids, but associated with the conoid in apicomplexan Toxoplasma. The conoid has

Prospects for elucidating the phylogeny of the Apicomplexa
Parasite, 2008 The Apicomplexa is traditionally considered to contain four clearly defined groups, but the phylogenetic relationships among these groups, and their subsequent taxonomic arrangement, are currently unclear.
