- Abstract
- Malaria infection of the host cells requires host-parasite recognition events mediated by adhesion and signaling molecules. Recent development of systems for stable transformation and targeted integration of exogenous DNA in malaria parasites provides a powerful tool to study the structure and function of Plasmodium attachment motifs, and their role in infection and disease.
