The apicoplast is a relict plastid essential for viability of the apicomplexan parasites
Toxoplasma and Plasmodium. It is surrounded by multiple membranes that proteins …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that acquires all necessary nutrients
from the hosts, but the exact nutrient acquisition mechanisms are poorly understood. Here …

Many apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium species,
possess a nonphotosynthetic plastid, referred to as the apicoplast, which is essential for the …
