Feeling at home from arrival to departure: protein export and host cell remodelling duringPlasmodiumliver stage and gametocyte maturation

Abstract excerpt

Obligate intracellular pathogens actively remodel their host cells to boost propagation, survival, and persistence. Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most severe form of malaria, assembles a complex secretory system in erythrocytes. Export of parasite factors to the erythrocyte membrane is essential for parasite sequestration from the blood circulation and a major factor for clinical complications...
