Importance of erythrocyte deformability for the alignment of malaria parasite upon invasion

2019-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Invasion of erythrocytes by merozoites is an essential step for the survival and progression of malaria parasites. In order to invade red blood cells (RBCs), parasites have to adhere with their apex to the RBC membrane. Since a random adhesion contact between the parasite and membrane would be too inefficient, it has been hypothesized that merozoites are able to actively re-orient toward apex-me...
