MetabolomicsA female gametocyte-specific ABC transporter plays a role in lipid metabolism in the malaria parasite
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters serve a variety of physiological functions as well as play key roles in drug resistance. The genome of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, encodes multiple members of this family, one of which, gABCG2, is transcribed predominantly in the gametoc...

MetabolomicsStrain level differences in marine microbial parasite-host metabolites and host mortality dynamics

Parasitism is a widespread source of mortality among marine microbial communities, with members of the diverse alveolate group Syndiniales being most prevalent and frequently identified in global omics studies. Despite their ubiquity, not much is known about Syndiniales parasite-host infection dy...

MetabolomicsPantothenate biosynthesis is critical for chronic infection by the neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential molecule acting in metabolism, post-translational modification, and regulation of gene expression. While all organisms synthesize CoA, many, including humans, are unable to produce its precursor, pantothenate. Intriguingly, like most plants, fungi and bacteria, paras...

MetabolomicsHost-parasite co-metabolic activation of antitrypanosomal aminomethyl-benzoxaboroles
Recent development of benzoxaborole-based chemistry gave rise to a collection of compounds with great potential in targeting diverse infectious diseases, including human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a devastating neglected tropical disease. However, further medicinal development is largely restric...

MetabolomicsThe Toxoplasma monocarboxylate transporters are involved in the metabolism within the apicoplast and are linked to parasite survival

The apicoplast is a four-membrane plastid found in the apicomplexans, which harbors biosynthesis and organelle housekeeping activities in the matrix. However, the mechanism driving the flux of metabolites, in and out, remains unknown. Here we used TurboID and genome engineering to identify apicop...

MetabolomicsHost-gut microbiota interactions shape parasite infections in farmed Atlantic salmon

Animals and their associated microbiota share long evolutionary histories. However, it is not always clear how host genotype and microbiota interact to affect phenotype. We applied a hologenomic approach to explore how host-microbiota interactions shape lifetime growth and parasite infection in f...

MetabolomicsFirst evidence of sexual reproduction in a widespread protist parasite infecting marine dinoflagellates
While most parasites primarily reproduce asexually, they can transition to sexual reproduction to promote genetic diversity and maintain their infectiousness. Nonetheless, documentation of sexual reproduction is seldom observed in most parasitic species. In this study, we demonstrate the existence o...

TranscriptomicsThe Variantome of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
We compared transcript levels at several points along the asexual blood cycle between 21 P. falciparum lines. These 21 parasite lines are organized in 4 sets of parasite lines, with all parasite lines within a set sharing a clonal origin. We compared transcript levels within each set. We also perfor...

MetabolomicsA profile of the joint Toxoplasma-host infection metabolome finds broad changes to metabolism and discovers a novel parasite metabolic capability
The obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii is auxotrophic for several key metabolites and must scavenge these, and carbon sources like glucose. from the host. While the importance of metabolism to Toxoplasma infection it obvious, it is unclear how Toxoplasma infection actually changes met...

ProteomicsThe Cryptosporidium signaling kinase CDPK5 plays an important role in male gametogenesis and parasite virulence
The protozoan parasite Cryptosporidium is a leading cause of diarrhea associated mortality in young children. The parasite’s lifecycle involves a highly coordinated and timely progression from asexual proliferative to sexual stages leading to formation of the transmissible oocyst. Underlying molecul...
