Zonal human hepatocytes are differentially permissive to <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> malaria parasites

2020-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) is a major cause of malaria. The mosquito-borne parasite asymptomatically infects hepatocytes in the liver. The resulting schizonts undergo massive replication to generate blood-infective merozoites. Liver lobules are zonated: hepatocytes in different zones perform differential metabolic functions. In search for specific host conditions that affect infectability, we studied the Pf paras...
