Transport proteins of parasitic protists and their role in nutrient salvage
The loss of key biosynthetic pathways is a common feature of important parasitic protists, making them heavily dependent on scavenging nutrients from their hosts. This is often mediated by specialised transporter proteins that ensure the nutritional requirements of the parasite are met. Over the pas...
