Towards a molecular understanding of the apicomplexan actin motor: on a road to novel targets for malaria remedies?

16 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

Apicomplexan parasites are the causative agents of notorious human and animal diseases that give rise to considerable human suffering and economic losses worldwide. The most prominent parasites of this phylum are the malaria-causing Plasmodium species, which are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, and Toxoplasma gondii, which infects one third of the world's population. These parasites share a common...
