Apicomplexa - Wikipedia
The Apicomplexa (also called Apicomplexia; single: apicomplexan) are organisms of a large phylum of mainly parasitic alveolates. Most possess a unique form of organelle structure that comprises a type of non-photosynthetic plastid called an …
Phylum Apicomplexa - Definition, Classification and Characteristics
Previously called Protozoa, along with several other groups, the Phylum Apicomplexa is large and is further divided into 300 genera and over 60 families that consist of over 5000 species. The majority of species already identified are obligate intracellular parasites that infect a variety of animals (including human beings) causing a variety of ...
Apicomplexan | Parasitic, Protozoan, Plasmodium | Britannica
apicomplexan, any protozoan of the (typically) spore-producing phylum Apicomplexa, which is called by some authorities Sporozoa. All apicomplexans are parasitic and lack contractile vacuoles and locomotor processes.
Apicomplexa - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites that cause several human and veterinary diseases worldwide. In contrast to most intracellular pathogens these protozoans are believed to invade a rather passive host cell in a process, that is, tightly linked to the ability of the parasites to move by gliding motility.
Apicomplexa - SpringerLink
2016年12月30日 · The phylum Apicomplexa is a large group of parasitic protists with more than 6,000 described and possibly thousands of undescribed species. All species are obligatory parasites, and potentially every vertebrate and majority of invertebrates host at least one apicomplexan species.
Apicomplexans: A conoid ring unites them all | PLOS Biology
2021年3月11日 · Apicomplexan parasites are defined by complex apical structures, which are necessary for interaction with incredibly diverse host cells. Two studies now amend a long-standing paradigm by showing conservation of an essential ring structure in the entire phylum.

Gliding motility powers invasion and egress in Apicomplexa
2017年9月4日 · Apicomplexa are obligate intracellular parasites that use a substrate-dependent gliding motility to move and to actively enter host cells, and to egress from the infected cells.
