Migration of Apicomplexa Across Biological Barriers: The Toxoplasma and Plasmodium Rides

Abstract excerpt

The invasive stages of Apicomplexa parasites, called zoites, have been largely studied in in vitro systems, with a special emphasis on their unique gliding and host cell invasive capacities. In contrast, the means by which these parasites reach their destination in their hosts are still poorly understood.
