The Plastid-Like Organelle of Apicomplexan Parasites as Drug Target

1 Mar 2008

Abstract excerpt

Apicomplexan parasites infectious to humans include Plasmodium spp., Babesia spp., Toxoplasma gondii, Cryptosporidium spp., Isospora belli and Cyclospora cayetanensis. With exception of Cryptosporidium spp., these parasites possess a non-photosynthetic plastid-like organelle called apicoplast. The apicoplast possesses a small circular genome and harbours prokaryotic-type biochemical pathways. As the most...
