The Apicomplexa phylum comprises divergent single-celled eukaryotic organisms with significant clinical relevance, such as Plasmodium parasites, the causative agent of malaria. The pathogenicity of Plasmodium is, in part, linked to its high multiplication rate during vegetative growth within the human host. Currently, we lack basic knowledge such as a clear definition of the parasite’s cell cycle, how it is regulated, how cell fate decisions are … Continue reading cell cycle regulation and cell fate decisions in malaria parasites
