Are Species Pathogenic? Nutrient Uptake and Approaches to Diagnose Infections.

species are free-living protists phylogenetically related to apicomplexans. sp. have been detected in human and animal tissues, as well as in ticks and biting flies.

Nutritional Barriers to the Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in Non-Mediterranean Populations.

Adherence to the Mediterranean diet has been shown to lower the risk of developing chronic non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Improvements in depression, participation in daily activities in older individuals, weight loss and a reduction in adverse pregnancy outcomes are associated with adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The number of studies that have evaluated barriers to adherence to the Mediterranean diet in the US and, in particular, in racial and ethnic minority populations within the US are few.

Ultrastructure of Myzocytosis and Cyst Formation, and the Role of Actin in Tubular Tether Formation in sp. (ATCC 50594).

Free-living relatives of the Apicomplexa such as species, species, and are predators that prey on ciliate, bodonid, and algal prey using the process of myzocytosis. During myzocytosis, the pseudoconoid is used to attach to the prey leading to aspiration of cytoplasmic contents of the prey into a posterior food vacuole formed in the predator, aided by secretions from the apical complex organelles. The conoid and associated proteins are conserved among the apicomplexa.
