Noisy hemoglobin consumption by erythrocytic <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> parasites: origins and possible implications

2024-09-19

Abstract excerpt

Non-genetic cell-to-cell phenotypic differences can significantly impact pathogen physiol-ogy and virulence, leading to unexpected phenomena such as antibiotic persistence. Here, we introduce the role of such non-genetic phenotypic differences in the host, with a focus on hemoglobin consumption by Plasmodium falciparum during the erythrocytic stage of parasite development. Through imaging, we quantified the subst...
