Codon optimization through biased synonymous substitutions is a characteristic feature of the genomes of generalist fungal parasites and is associated with the colonization of multiple hosts.

Parasitic lineages of Rozellomycota are shaped by repeated and independent gene losses.

In zombie fruit flies, Entomophthora muscae-elicited summiting behavior is mediated by blood-borne factors and the host circadian-neurosecretory network.

Secondary metabolites rocaglates produced by plants lead to a plant‒fungus tug-of-war, utilizing unique amino acid substitutions in eIF4A, a target of the compounds.

Transporters shared by fungal intracellular parasites provide new insights into the evolution of nucleotide and energy parasitism.

The fungal parasite Podosphaera plantaginis employs both sexual and asexual reproduction to increase its chances of infecting the plant Plantago lanceolata.

Apicomplexan-like parasites originated several times independently and many of them contain cryptic plastid organelles, which demonstrate that the parasites evolved from photosynthetic algae.

Neither the presence nor the intensity of Hematodinium sp. parasitisation drives co-infection occurrence, severity, or diversity in the ecologically ubiquitous shore crab, Carcinus maenas.

A phylum-specific ATP synthase subunit is needed for proper mitochondrial function and stability of the complex in Toxoplasma gondii.

Trypanosoma cruzi intracellular amastigotes exhibit rapid resistance to azoles, independent of genetic selection, which is dependent on metabolic state and mechanistically distinct from latency.
