Apicomplexan parasites are a group of eukaryotic protozoans with diverse biology that have
affected human health like no other group of parasites. These obligate intracellular parasites …

Apicomplexan parasites rely on tubulin structures throughout their cell and life cycles,
particularly in the polymerization of spindle microtubules to separate the replicated nucleus …

Rhoptries are specialized secretory organelles conserved across the Apicomplexa phylum,
essential for host cell invasion and critical for subverting of host cellular and immune …

The apicomplexan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, develops unique secretory organelles,
such as micronemes, rhoptries, and dense granules, which do not exist in other well-studied …

In Toxoplasma gondii, the conoid comprises a cone with spiraling tubulin fibers, preconoidal
rings, and intraconoidal microtubules. This dynamic organelle undergoes extension and …

Background Study of malaria parasite cell biology is challenged by their small size, which
can make visualisation of individual organelles difficult or impossible using conventional …

In Toxoplasma gondii, the conoid is a dynamic organelle composed of spiraling tubulin
fibers that extrudes during egress, gliding motility, and invasion. This organelle traverses the …

Apicomplexans, a large phylum of protozoan intracellular parasites, well known for their
ability to invade and proliferate within host cells, cause diseases with major health and …

Background: Dinoflagellates are a monophyletic group within the taxon Alveolata, which
comprises unicellular eukaryotes. Dinoflagellates have long been studied for their …

Microtubules (MTs) play a vital role as key components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. The
phylum Apicomplexa comprises eukaryotic unicellular parasitic organisms defined by the …
