Comparative Time-Scale Gene Expression Analysis Highlights the Infection Processes of Two Amoebophrya Strains
Understanding factors that generate, maintain, and constrain host-parasite associations is of major interest to biologists.Although little studied, many extremely virulent micro-eukaryotic parasites infecting microalgae have been reported in the marine plankton.This is the case for Amoebophrya, a diverse and highly widespread group of Syndiniales i
