Gliding motility of <i>Plasmodium</i> merozoites

2020-05-03

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium malaria parasites are obligate intracellular protozoans that use a unique form of locomotion, termed gliding motility, to move through host tissues and invade cells. The process is substrate-dependent and powered by an actomyosin motor that drives the posterior translocation of extracellular adhesins which in turn propel the parasite forward. Gliding motility is essential for tissue translocation in the...
