HOST LIPID HIJACKING. “While eukaryotic pathogens are often able to synthesize a number of nutrients required for growth de novo, it is often more advantageous to conserve the energy required for biosynthesis and to instead hijack host-derived resources. This is especially true for the acquisition of host lipids, as protozoan parasites must quickly assemble a large amount of new membrane during replication within host cells.”
