Plasmodium berghei liver stage parasites exploit host GABARAP proteins for TFEB activation

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, infects hepatocytes prior to establishing a symptomatic blood stage infection. During this liver stage development, parasites reside in a parasitophorous vacuole (PV), whose membrane acts as the critical interface between the parasite and the host cell.
