Transfection of the free-living alga <i>Chromera velia</i> enables direct comparisons with its parasitic apicomplexan relative, <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i>

2025-08-29

Abstract excerpt

Chromera velia is a photosynthetic, free-living alga that is closely related to the apicomplexans, a phylum of intracellular parasites responsible for many devastating diseases, including malaria, cryptosporidiosis, and toxoplasmosis. With molecular and cellular landmarks that are clearly related to but distinguishable from those found in apicomplexan parasites, Chromera provides a fantastic opportunity to invest...
