Comparative analysis of apicoplast genomes of Babesia infective to small ruminants in China
24 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Babesiosis is an economically important disease caused by tick-borne apicomplexan protists of the genus Babesia. Most apicomplexan parasites, including Babesia, have a plastid-derived organelle termed an apicoplast, which is involved in critical metabolic pathways such as fatty acid, iron-sulphur, haem and isoprenoid biosynthesis. Apicoplast genomic data can provide significant information for...
