Transcriptional Analysis of the Pre-Erythrocytic Stages of the Rodent Malaria Parasite, Plasmodium yoelii

Abstract excerpt

The molecular biology of the clinically silent pre-erythrocytic stages of mammalian Plasmodium spp, composed of both the sporozoite and liver stages, has remained largely uncharacterized. Improved understanding of the biological processes required for progression through the pre-erythrocytic stages could lead to the identification of novel drug and vaccine targets. To gain insights into the molecular events that...
