Parasitism runs deep in malaria's family tree

The ancestors of a large family of parasites--including those that cause malaria--were equipped to become parasites much earlier in their lineage than previously assumed, according to new research. The work traces the emergence of parasitism among apicomplexans--complex, single cell parasites that possess highly specialized tools to invade host cells and tissues.
