Parasites need mitochondrial respiration to infect and spread. Effective anti-malaria and ani-toxoplasmosis drugs target respiratory complexes (e.g. atovaquone)!
But how do the parasite complexes work and how do drugs inhibit them?
Read Andrew Maclean and Alex Mühleip phenomenal work on this! 👇

If you are interested in antigenic variation, you may have wondered how parasites ‘select’ which antigen to express next.
