DISSECTING THE ROLE OF ACTIN-MYOSIN MOTOR AND CALCIUM – BASED ORGANELLE SECRETION IN MOTILITY OF SARCOCYSTIS NEURONA [PDF]
, 2022 Sarcocystis neurona is a protozoan parasite that causes a rare neurological disorder in horses called Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM). Apicomplexa use actin-myosin based motor and organelle secretion to interact with the host cell and invade it.
