Codependence in the <i>Nephromyces</i> species swarm depends on heterospecific bacterial endosymbionts

Abstract excerpt
The phylum Apicomplexa encompasses 6000 ubiquitous animal parasites, including Plasmodium , the most deadly human parasite on Earth. Anciently parasitic lineages, like apicomplexans, lose core metabolic pathways over time, as they evolve less costly scavenging mechanisms. The recent description of a mutualistic apicomplexan, Nephromyces , from deep within this parasitic group, opened the possibility of an evolut...
