What is the significance of Apicomplexa in human health?
Apicomplexa include several medically important species, such as Plasmodium (causative agents of malaria), Toxoplasma gondii (causative agent of toxoplasmosis), and Cryptosporidium (causative agents of cryptosporidiosis). These infections can cause significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in immunocompromised individuals and in regions with limited healthcare resources.
