Laser-based selective killing of a manipulative parasite reveals partial reversibility of phenotypic alterations in its intermediate host [PDF]
Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne DiseasesVarious parasites alter their intermediate hostʼs phenotype in ways that increase parasite transmission to definitive hosts. To what extent infected intermediate hosts can recover from such “manipulation” is poorly documented, thus limiting our ...

Cryptosporidium Lactate Dehydrogenase Is Associated with the Parasitophorous Vacuole Membrane and Is a Potential Target for Developing Therapeutics. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 The apicomplexan, Cryptosporidium parvum, possesses a bacterial-type lactate dehydrogenase (CpLDH). This is considered to be an essential enzyme, as this parasite lacks the Krebs cycle and cytochrome-based respiration, and mainly-if not solely, relies on
