Malaria is today a disease of poverty and underdeveloped countries. In Africa, mortality
remains high because there is limited access to treatment in the villages. We should follow …

The persistence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during blood stage
proliferation in its host depends on the successive expression of variant molecules at the …

The complexity of soil bacterial communities has thus far confounded effective
measurement. However, with improved analytical methods, we show that the abundance …

Single-cell RNA-sequencing is revolutionising our understanding of seemingly
homogeneous cell populations but has not yet been widely applied to single-celled …

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is responsible for 25–40% of the∼ 515
million annual cases of malaria worldwide. Although seldom fatal, the parasite elicits severe …

Species of malaria parasite that infect rodents have long been used as models for malaria
disease research. Here we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of one species …

Human infections with Plasmodium falciparum may result in severe forms of malaria. The
widespread and rapid development of drug resistance in P. falciparum and the resistance of …

Invasion of erythrocytes is a prerequisite in the life history of the malaria parasite. Members
of the reticulocyte-binding homologue family (PfRh) have been implicated in the invasion …

Coevolution of humans and malaria parasites has generated an intricate balance between
the immune system of the host and virulence factors of the parasite, equilibrating maximal …

The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, exploits multiple ligand-receptor interactions,
called invasion pathways, to invade the host erythrocyte. Strains of P. falciparum vary in their …
