It is anticipated that the sequencing of Plasmodium falciparum genome will soon be completed. Rodent models of malaria infection and stable transformation systems provide powerful means of using this information to study gene function in vivo. To date, gene targeting has only been developed for one rodent malaria species, Plasmodium berghei. Another rodent species, Plasmodium yoelii, however, is favored to study...
