Erythrocyte Invasion and Merozoite Ligand Gene Expression in Severe and MildPlasmodium falciparumMalaria
5 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Erythrocyte invasion is central to malaria parasite replication and virulence. Plasmodium falciparum parasites use different alternative erythrocyte receptors and vary in expression of erythrocyte-binding antigenic (EBA) proteins and reticulocyte-binding protein homologues (Rh). Parasite invasion phenotypes and schizont-stage transcript expression profiles of the 8 eba and Rh protein-coding genes without internal...
