Abstrakt: Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving "One Health". Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and host-switching, which are controlled by various regulatory machineries including protein post-translational modifications (PTMs). PTMs have emerged as a key mechanism by which parasites modulate their virulence, developmental transitions, and environmental adaptations. PTMs are enzyme-mediated additions or removals of chemical groups that dynamically regulate the stability and functions of proteins and confer novel properties, playing vital roles in a variety of biological processes and cellular functions. In this review, we circumscribe how parasites utilize various PTMs to regulate their intricate lives, with a focus on the biological role of PTMs in parasite biology and pathogenesis.
