Malaria has been a major global health problem of humans through history and is a leading
cause of death and disease across many tropical and subtropical countries. Over the last …

Proliferation and differentiation inside erythrocytes are important steps in the life cycle of
Plasmodium spp. To achieve these, the parasites export polypeptides to the surface of …

Cell-cell communication is an important mechanism for information exchange promoting cell
survival for the control of features such as population density and differentiation. We …

The putative Plasmodium translocon of exported proteins (PTEX) is essential for transport of

Draft genome sequences have been determined for the soybean pathogen Phytophthora
sojae and the sudden oak death pathogen Phytophthora ramorum. Oömycetes such as …

The oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that
includes some of the most notorious pathogens of plants. Oomycetes accomplish parasitic …

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is responsible for 25–40% of the∼ 515
million annual cases of malaria worldwide. Although seldom fatal, the parasite elicits severe …

Bacterial, oomycete and fungal plant pathogens establish disease by translocation of
effector proteins into host cells, where they may directly manipulate host innate immunity. In …

Soil-borne mutualistic fungi, such as the ectomycorrhizal fungi, have helped shape forest
communities worldwide over the last 180 million years through a mutualistic relationship …
