Identifying novel Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte invasion receptors using systematic extracellular protein interaction screens
The invasion of host erythrocytes by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum initiates the blood stage of infection responsible for the symptoms of malaria. Invasion involves extracellular protein interactions between host erythrocyte receptors and ligands on the merozoite, the invasive form of the paras...
