A widespread coral-infecting apicomplexan contains a plastid encoding chlorophyll biosynthesis

2018-08-14

Abstract excerpt

The Apicomplexa are an important group of obligate intracellular parasites that include the causative agents of human diseases like malaria and toxoplasmosis. They evolved from free-living, phototrophic ancestors, and how this transition to parasitism occurred remains an outstanding question. One potential clue lies in coral reefs, where environmental DNA surveys have uncovered several lineages of uncharacterized,...
