Shikimate pathway in apicomplexan parasites [PDF]
The discovery of plastids in apicomplexan parasites1,3 raised the possibility that these organelles might harbour plastid-specific metabolic activities that could be blocked by therapeutic agents. Ideally, these agents would inhibit the parasites without harming their vertebrate hosts.
