Distinct roles of Plasmodium rhomboid 1 in parasite development and malaria pathogenesis.
Invasion of host cells by the malaria parasite involves recognition and interaction with cell-surface receptors. A wide variety of parasite surface proteins participate in this process, most of which are specific to the parasite's particular invasive form. Upon entry, the parasite has to dissoc...
