New #ISEPpapers! Phylogenomic diversity of archigregarine apicomplexans https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsob.240141

"#Gregarines are a large and diverse subgroup of #Apicomplexa, a lineage of obligate animal #symbionts including pathogens such as #Plasmodium, the #malaria parasite. Unlike Plasmodium, however, gregarines are poorly studied, despite the fact that as early-branching #apicomplexans they are crucial to our understanding of the origin and evolution of all apicomplexans and their parasitic lifestyle."
