Accounting for red blood cell accessibility reveals distinct invasion strategies in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> strains

2019-05-07

Abstract excerpt

The growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in human blood causes all clinical manifestations of malaria, a process that begins with the invasion of red blood cells. Parasites enter red blood cells using distinct pairs of parasite ligands and host receptors that define particular invasion pathways. Parasite strains have the capacity to switch between invasion pathways. This flexibility is thought to...
