This paper uses a phylogenetic approach to analyze bradyzoite differentiation in Toxoplasma gondii and identifies conserved and novel proteins involved in this process.

This study shows that the SV40-NLS peptide selectively inhibits nuclear import in Toxoplasma gondii, reducing viability without affecting mammalian cells.

The paper identifies small molecules that inhibit nuclear import in apicomplexan parasites, showing efficacy against both rapidly dividing and differentiated stages.

The paper investigates translation mechanisms in Plasmodium falciparum, showing that leaky scanning and reinitiation are used to bypass upstream ORFs in asexual stages.
