Coccidiosis is a widespread and economically significant disease of livestock caused by
protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria. This disease is worldwide in occurrence and …

Studies on the biology of the avian species of Eimeria are currently benefiting from the
availability of a comprehensive sequence for the nuclear genome of Eimeria tenella. Allied …

Apicomplexan parasites are leading causes of human and livestock diseases such as
malaria and toxoplasmosis, yet most of their genes remain uncharacterized. Here, we …

Transmission of malaria parasites to mosquitoes is initiated by the obligatory sexual
reproduction of the parasite within the mosquito bloodmeal. Differentiation of specialized …

The malaria parasite replicates within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous vacuole (PV).
Eventually, in a tightly regulated process called egress, proteins of the PV and intracellular …

Calcium-regulated exocytosis is a ubiquitous process in eukaryotes, whereby secretory
vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane and release their contents in response to an …

Apicomplexan parasites exhibit actin-dependent gliding motility that is essential for
migration across biological barriers and host cell invasion. Profilins are key contributors to …

This 2e of Toxoplasma gondii reflects the significant advances in the field in the last 5 years,
including new information on the genomics, epigenomics and proteomics of T. gondii as well …

The invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium merozoites requires specific interactions
between host receptors and parasite ligands. Parasite proteins that bind erythrocyte …

Cyclic GMP (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase G [PKG]) is essential for
microneme secretion, motility, invasion, and egress in apicomplexan parasites, However …
