Identification of novel host-pathogen interactions in malaria parasite invasion
Objectives
This proejct aims to reveal how Plasmodium vivax enters the blood cells and the molecular mechanisms that allows successful invasion.
Principal Institution
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research (WEHI), Australia
Principal Investigators / Focal Persons
Rationale and Abstract
Plasmodium vivax is a parasite that invades the youngest of human red blood cells. This proposal will redefine current understanding of P. vivax invasion and explore novel ways to block its entry into red blood cells and therefore prevent malaria infection.
