Apicomplexan parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum , are the cause of many important human and veterinarian diseases. While T. gondii tachyzoites replicate through endodyogeny, during which two daughter cells are formed within the parental cell, P. falciparum replicates through schizogony, where up to 32 parasites are formed in a single infected red blood cell and even thousands of daughter cells during mosquito- or liver-stage development.
