The global agenda for malaria eradication would benefit from development of a highly
efficacious vaccine that protects against disease and interrupts transmission of Plasmodium …

Plasmodium falciparum parasites in the merozoite stage invade human erythrocytes and
cause malaria. Invasion requires multiple interactions between merozoite ligands and …

Invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium merozoites is a complex process that is mediated by
specific molecular interactions. Here, we review recent studies on interactions between …

The development of effective malaria vaccines and immune biomarkers of malaria is a high
priority for malaria control and elimination. Ags expressed by merozoites of Plasmodium …

Current vaccine strategies against the asexual blood stage of Plasmodium falciparum are
mostly focused on well-studied merozoite antigens that induce immune responses after …

Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe form of malaria disease in
humans, causing more than 1 million deaths each year. As an obligate intracellular parasite …

Invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum involves a complex cascade of protein-
protein interactions between parasite ligands and host receptors. The reticulocyte binding …

Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe form of malaria in humans and invades
erythrocytes using multiple ligand-receptor interactions. Two important protein families …

No vaccine has yet proven effective against the blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum,
which cause the symptoms and severe manifestations of malaria. We recently found that …

Plasmodium falciparum is a highly lethal malaria parasite of humans. A major portion of its
life cycle is dedicated to invading and multiplying inside erythrocytes. The molecular …
