Summary Introduction
Introduction:
“Apicomplexans” are small unicellular organisms which posses alveoli vesicles when observed under a microscope. They are present underneath the cell membrane with microfibrils and vacuoles which help in the penetrating the host tissue during the process of ingestion and phagocytosis. They help in the transport of the vesicles in the membrane. They belong to the supergroup “chromalveolata”. The example includes the malaria parasite.
