Expression of human CD81 differently affects host cell susceptibility to malaria sporozoites depending on the Plasmodium species
24 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium sporozoites can enter host cells by two distinct pathways, either through disruption of the plasma membrane followed by parasite transmigration through cells, or by formation of a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) where the parasite further differentiates into a replicative exo-erythrocytic form (EEF). We now provide evidence that following invasion without PV formation, transmigrating Plasmodium falciparum...
