Abstract excerpt
Background: Erythrocyte invasion by P. falciparum involves functionally overlapping interactions between the parasite's ligands and the erythrocyte surface receptors. While some P. falciparum isolates necessarily engage the sialic acid (SA) moieties of the erythrocytes during the invasion, others use ligands whose binding is independent of SA for successful invasion. Deciphering the major pathway used by P....
