Malaria: The gatekeeper revealed
Sarah B. Reiff1 & Boris Striepen1
Abstract
A molecular machine used by the malaria parasite to export its protein armoury into the host cell has at last been identified, providing researchers with a potentially invaluable therapeutic target.
Malaria is a devastating infectious disease that claims around one million lives each year. The most severe form is caused by a unicellular parasite called Plasmodium falciparum — a formidable foe that has repeatedly frustrated attempts to eradicate it.
- Sarah B. Reiff and Boris Striepen are at the Center for Tropical and Emerging Global Diseases, and the Department of Cellular Biology, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602, USA.
