Summary Introduction
Concept Introduction: Apicomplexans are the largest lineage in the parasitic protists which includes more than 5000 species. They are single- celled protists which spend most part of their life cycle inside cells of their animal host. The life cycle of apicomplexans is complicated as it includes both sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.
