The Plasmodium falciparum Rh5 invasion protein complex reveals an excess of rare variant mutations
Abstract Background The invasion of the red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum merozoites involves the interplay of several proteins that are also targets for vaccine development. The proteins PfRh5-PfRipr-PfCyRPA-Pfp113 assemble into a complex at the apical end of the merozoite and are together e...
