is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite responsible for causing neosporosis in a range of animal species. It results in substantial economic losses in the livestock industry and poses significant health risks to companion and wild animals. Central to its survival and pathogenicity is the process of cell division, which remains poorly understood in this parasite.

- - Echinococcus granulosus causes Cyst Echinococcosis, a zoonotic infection that poses health risks and economic challenges for many countries, with no effective vaccine yet developed after years of research.
- - Researchers identified two new proteins, EgVAL1 and EgVAL2, from the parasitic superfamily expressed in the larval stage (protoscoleces), analyzing their sequences to predict their functions in relation to known vertebrate and helminth proteins.
- - Immunolocalization studies indicated that these newly discovered proteins might play a role in inhibiting protease activity, highlighting their potential significance in developing a vaccine against this parasitic infection.
