Toxoplasmosis is caused by Toxoplasma gondii, an apicomplexan parasite that is able to
infect any nucleated cell in any warm-blooded animal. Toxoplasma gondii infects around 2 …

Protozoan parasites have developed elaborate motility systems that facilitate infection and
dissemination. For example, amoebae use actin-rich membrane extensions called …

Toxoplasma gondii is among the most prevalent parasites worldwide, infecting many wild
and domestic animals and causing zoonotic infections in humans. T. gondii differs …

BACKGROUND: Calcium serves as a versatile messenger in many adaptation and
developmental processes in plants. Ca2+ signals are represented by stimulus-specific …

Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are obligate intracellular apicomplexan
parasites that rapidly invade and extensively modify host cells. Protein phosphorylation is …

Calcium is an abundant intracellular ion, and calcium homeostasis plays crucial roles in
several cellular processes. The calcineurin signaling cascade is one of the major pathways …

The eukaryotic phylum Apicomplexa encompasses thousands of obligate intracellular
parasites of humans and animals with immense socio-economic and health impacts. We …

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 …

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 …

Although eukaryotic protein kinases (ePKs) contribute to many cellular processes, only three
Plasmodium falciparum ePKs have thus far been identified as essential for parasite asexual …
