Apicomplexan parasites are responsible for high impact human diseases such as malaria,
toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. These obligate intracellular pathogens are dependent …

A vestigial, nonphotosynthetic plastid has been identified recently in protozoan parasites of
the phylum Apicomplexa. The apicomplexan plastid, or “apicoplast,” is indispensable, but …

The malaria parasite Plasmodium possesses a relict, non-photosynthetic plastid known as
the apicoplast. The apicoplast is essential for parasite survival, and harbors several plant …

Most apicomplexan parasites possess a non-photosynthetic plastid (the apicoplast), which
harbors enzymes for a number of metabolic pathways, including a prokaryotic type II fatty …

Apicomplexa are parasitic protozoa that cause important human diseases including malaria,
cryptosporidiosis and toxoplasmosis. The replication of these parasites within their target …

Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that contains a relic plastid, called the
apicoplast, deriving from a secondary endosymbiosis with an ancestral alga. Metabolic …

Apicomplexan parasites are unicellular eukaryotic pathogens that must obtain and combine
