Initially discovered in the context of immunomodulation, peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases
(PPIases) were soon identified as enzymes catalyzing the rate-limiting protein folding step at …

Micronemes and rhoptries are specialized secretory organelles that deploy their contents at
the apical tip of apicomplexan parasites in a regulated manner. The secretory proteins …

Toxoplasma gondii microneme proteins (TgMICs), secreted by micronemes upon contact
with host cells, are reported to play important roles in multiple stages of the T. gondii life …

Following each round of replication, daughter merozoites of the malaria parasite
Plasmodium falciparum escape (egress) from the infected host red blood cell (RBC) by …

Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite that replicates within an intraerythrocytic
parasitophorous vacuole. Release (egress) of malaria merozoites from the host erythrocyte …

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites and possess a unique way of invading
hosts, namely germination. Microsporidia are able to infect almost all animal cells by …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoon which causes toxoplasmosis, an
important zoonotic disease that is endemic worldwide. Common sources of T. gondii …

In the present study, the microneme 5 gene of Eimeria acervulina (E. acervulina)(EaMIC5)
was cloned and characterized. Specific primers for the rapid amplification of cDNA ends …

Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite with the ability to use foodborne, zoonotic,
and congenital routes of transmission that causes severe disease in immunocompromised …

Malaria symptoms are associated with the asexual multiplication of Plasmodium falciparum
within human red blood cells (RBCs) and fever peaks coincide with the egress of daughter …
