Abstract
Clever Cattle Parasite Captures Cell Division Machinery
Highlights
Parasites have developed clever and diverse ways of making sure they’re carried from one generation to the and spread through their hosts’ bodies— not surprising since their lives depend on it
It is during the key stage of the Theileria life cycle when it lives inside the cow’s white blood cells that it forces host cells to divide over and over
If the parasite wound up in only one daughter cell after each host cell division, it would never increase the number of blood cells it colonized and would have a small chance of getting ingested by Selected PLoS Biology research articles are accompanied by a synopsis written for a general audience to provide non-experts with insight into the significance of the published work
Summary
Parasites have developed clever and diverse ways of making sure they’re carried from one generation to the and spread through their hosts’ bodies— not surprising since their lives depend on it. Clever Cattle Parasite Captures Cell Division Machinery Others link their genome to host chromosomes so it gets carried along whenever the host’s cells divide.
