Article Synopsis
- Diplomonads are a group of anaerobic flagellates that include both host-associated species, like parasites in the intestines, and free-living species found in anoxic environments.
- Research shows that free-living diplomonads are evolutionarily linked to their host-dependent relatives, suggesting that they may have reverted from a parasitic lifestyle back to free-living, which is a rare evolutionary event.
- New phylogenomic analyses reveal multiple branches of free-living diplomonads within host-associated species, highlighting the need for a better understanding of their evolutionary transitions.
