Toxoplasmagondii : 1908-2008, homage to Nicolle, Manceaux and Splendore (2009)
The discovery of Toxoplasmagondii independently by Nicolle and Manceaux (1908) and Splendore (1908) was to open a “Pandora’s Box” that has led research on this parasite into a number of...
Oocyst wall formation and composition in coccidian parasites (2009)
Mai, Kelly, Sharman, Philippa A., Walker, Robert A., Katrib, Marilyn, De Souza, David, McConville, Malcolm J., ...
The oocyst wall of coccidian parasites is a robust structure that is resistant to a variety of environmental and chemical insults. This resilience allows oocysts to survive for long periods,...

The virulent RH strain of Toxoplasma gondii is acutely lethal in mice and fails to establish chronic infection. Vaccination of BALB/c mice with a soluble tachyzoite antigen preparation, STAg, in...
Ferguson, David J. P., Henriquez, Fiona L., Kirisits, Michael J., Muench, Stephen P., Prigge, Sean T., Rice, David W., ...
The structure and location of Toxoplasma gondii apicoplasts were examined in intermediate and definitive hosts and shown to vary in a stage-specific manner. Immunocytochemistry and electron...
Genesis of and Trafficking to the Maurer's Clefts of Plasmodium falciparum-Infected Erythrocytes†
Spycher, Cornelia, Rug, Melanie, Klonis, Nectarios, Ferguson, David J. P., Cowman, Alan F., Beck, Hans-Peter, ...
Malaria parasites export proteins beyond their own plasma membrane to locations in the red blood cells in which they reside. Maurer's clefts are parasite-derived structures within the host cell...

Novel Type IV Secretion System Involved in Propagation of Genomic Islands▿
Juhas, Mario, Crook, Derrick W., Dimopoulou, Ioanna D., Lunter, Gerton, Harding, Rosalind M., Ferguson, David J. P., ...
Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) mediate horizontal gene transfer, thus contributing to genome plasticity, evolution of infectious pathogens, and dissemination of antibiotic resistance and other...

Many apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium species, possess a nonphotosynthetic plastid, referred to as the apicoplast, which is essential for the parasites’ viability...
Ling, Yun M., Shaw, Michael H., Ayala, Carol, Coppens, Isabelle, Taylor, Gregory A., Ferguson, David J.P., ...
Apicomplexan protozoan pathogens avoid destruction and establish a replicative niche within host cells by forming a nonfusogenic parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Here we present evidence for...

CD22 is a B cell–specific transmembrane protein known to function as a negative regulator of B cell signaling. It has also been implicated in cell adhesion through recognition of α2,6-linked...
MORN1 Has a Conserved Role in Asexual and Sexual Development across the Apicomplexa▿
Ferguson, David J. P., Sahoo, Nivedita, Pinches, Robert A., Bumstead, Janene M., Tomley, Fiona M., Gubbels, Marc-Jan
The gene encoding the membrane occupation and recognition nexus protein MORN1 is conserved across the Apicomplexa. In Toxoplasma gondii, MORN1 is associated with the spindle poles, the anterior and...
