Combining reverse genetics and live microscopy to dissect Plasmodium knowlesi invasion of red blood cells

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium knowlesi is one of six Plasmodium species responsible for causing malaria in humans. Symptoms of the disease arise from the blood stage of the parasite's life cycle, when a form of the parasite, known as a merozoite, invades a red blood cell (RBC), develops and multiplies within it, and then bursts (egresses) from the host cell, releasing more invasive merozoites. Invasion progresses through several key...
