Proliferation and differentiation inside erythrocytes are important steps in the life cycle of
Plasmodium spp. To achieve these, the parasites export polypeptides to the surface of …

Malaria is a vector-borne infection caused by unicellular parasite of the genus Plasmodium.
Plasmodia are obligate intracellular parasites that are able to infect and replicate within the …

Molecular processes that govern pathogenic features of erythrocyte invasion and
cytoadherence in malaria are reliant on Plasmodium-specific Duffy-binding-like domains …

Plasmodium knowlesi was initially identified in the 30s as a natural Plasmodium of Macaca
fascicularis monkey also capable of experimentally infecting humans. It gained a relative …

Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi invasion depends on the parasite Duffy-
binding protein DBL domain (RII-PvDBP or RII-PkDBP) engaging the Duffy antigen receptor …

More attention is being focused on malaria today than any time since the world's last efforts
to achieve eradication over 40 years ago. The global community is now discussing …

Plasmodium parasites use specialized ligands which bind to red blood cell (RBC) receptors
during invasion. Defining the mechanism of receptor recognition is essential for the design …

Malaria parasites are obligate intracellular parasites whose invasive stages select and
invade the unique host cell in which they can develop with exquisite specificity and efficacy …

Malaria merozoite invasion of human erythrocytes depends on recognition of specific
erythrocyte surface receptors by parasite ligands. Plasmodium vivax merozoite invasion is …

Erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasites is essential for blood-stage development and an
important determinant of host range. In Plasmodium vivax, the interaction between the Duffy …
