Actomyosin forces and the energetics of red blood cell invasion by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
All symptoms of malaria disease are associated with the asexual blood stages of development, involving cycles of red blood cell (RBC) invasion and egress by the Plasmodium spp. merozoite. Merozoite invasion is rapid and is actively powered by a parasite actomyosin motor. The current accepted model f...
