Toxoplasma gondii is a common protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of hosts,
including livestock and humans. Previous studies have suggested that the type 2 fatty acid …

Patatin‐like phospholipases are involved in numerous cellular functions, including lipid
metabolism and membranes remodeling. The patatin‐like catalytic domain, whose …

Apicomplexan parasites cause devastating diseases including malaria and toxoplasmosis.
They harbour a plastid-like, non-photosynthetic organelle of algal origin, the apicoplast …

Successful inter-host transmission of most apicomplexan parasites requires the formation of
infective sporozoites within the oocysts. Unlike all other infective stages that are strictly …

Host-lipidome caters parasite interaction by acting as first line of recognition, attachment on
the cell surface, intracellular trafficking, and survival of the parasite inside the host cell. Here …

The apicoplast is a highly specialized organelle that mediates required functions in the
growth and replication of apicomplexan parasites. Despite structural conservation of the …

The apicoplast is a nonphotosynthetic plastid found in most apicomplexan parasites,
including Plasmodium spp.(causative agents of malaria) and Toxoplasma gondii (causative …

Malaria parasites (Plasmodium spp.) contain a nonphotosynthetic plastid organelle called
the apicoplast, which houses essential metabolic pathways and is required throughout the …

Many apicomplexan parasites harbor a non-photosynthetic plastid called the apicoplast,
which hosts important metabolic pathways like the methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) …

Several apicomplexan parasites harbour an essential plastid known as the apicoplast.
Apicoplasts import proteins and metabolites for several biological functions, but how import …
