Invasion by P. falciparum Merozoites Suggests a Hierarchy of Molecular Interactions
Central to the pathology of malaria disease are the repeated cycles of parasite invasion and destruction of human erythrocytes. In Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent species causing malaria, erythrocyte invasion involves several specific receptor–ligand interactions that direct the pathway use...
