 | Functional bioinformatic studies in erythrocyte remodeling by malaria parasites
by N. Luisa Hiller
Description: The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum infects and develops within erythrocytes. This stage of infection is responsible for all the symptoms and pathologies of disease. In the intraerythrocytic stage, the parasite extensively remodels the host cell, presumably by delivering parasite effectors during invasion and development. The ligands involved in modification...more
