Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a tightly orchestrated intraerythrocytic cycle that aligns with host circadian rhythms, optimising parasite replication, transmission potential and evasion of immune ...

Researchers have mapped in fine detail the genetic changes malaria parasites go through as they prepare to infect people. The atlas maps the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum in unprecedented ...

Plasmodium parasites undergo a complex life cycle spanning human and mosquito hosts, requiring tightly coordinated changes in gene expression at each developmental stage. Transcriptional control is ...

In the October 3 Nature, Laurence Florens and colleagues describe a large-scale proteomic study that complements the genome sequencing approach to understanding the malaria parasite Plasmodium ...

The parasite that causes malaria requires precise control of gene expression to progress through the various stages of its complex life cycle. A new study, by a multinational team of researchers, ...
