Abstract
- The life cycle of the malaria parasite (plasmodium) is very complex as they engage in highly specific and varied interactions with cell types of both the mammalian host and the mosquito vector. A detailed molecular insight into an intimate interaction between a malaria parasite protein and its host cell receptor that enable the parasite to invade erythrocytes is reported.
