A combinatorial genetics approach reveals limits to redundancy within <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> invasion ligand families

2026-02-23

Abstract excerpt

To maintain infection in the human bloodstream, Plasmodium falciparum parasites undergo repeated cycles of invasion of and multiplication inside red blood cells (RBCs). Two protein families, the Erythrocyte binding-like (EBA) and Reticulocyte binding-like (Rh) proteins, are known to play a key role in invasion, mediating early stages of attachment of the P. falciparum merozoite to the host RBC. There is a degree...
