Cell division in Apicomplexan parasites is organized by a homolog of the striated rootlet fiber of algal flagella.
Apicomplexa are intracellular parasites that cause important human diseases including malaria and toxoplasmosis. During host cell infection new parasites are formed through a budding process that parcels out nuclei and organelles into multiple daughters. Budding is remarkably flexible in output and...
