Erythrocyte polymorphisms and malaria parasite invasion in Papua New Guinea.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Jun 2003

Zimmerman Peter A, Patel Sheral S, Maier Alexander G, Bockarie Moses J, Kazura James W

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum merozoites engage the erythrocyte surface through several receptor (host)-ligand (parasite) interactions during a brief exchange that results in parasite invasion of the red blood cell. Tens of thousands of these events occur during the initial cycle of blood-stage infections but advance towards billions as the parasite becomes visible to microscopists attempting to diagnose the underlying...
