Researchers have identified a key enzyme for the synthesis of glycoconjugates (sugars linked to other molecules) in Plasmodium falciparum and other intracellular parasites belonging to the large ...

Scientists have characterized a protein complex that allows the agents that cause malaria and toxoplasmosis to infect host cells. This is a highly original mechanism, since the parasite supplies both ...

In biological terms, gliding refers to the type of movement during which a cell moves along a surface without changing its shape. This form of movement is unique to parasites from the phylum ...

Indiana University School of Medicine scientists have uncovered new evidence that changes in the gut bacteria of African children with severe malaria are linked to life-threatening complications.

Apicomplexa are eukaryotic parasites that cause important human and veterinary diseases, such as malaria, toxoplasmosis and cryptosporidiosis. Apicomplexa replicate within the cells of their hosts by ...

Apicomplexa are unicellular eukaryotic parasites that exhibit two types of secretory organelle at their apical pole and a membranous system that underlies their plasma membrane. Apicomplexa are ...
