Host reticulocytes provide metabolic reservoirs that can be exploited by malaria parasites.

Host reticulocytes provide metabolic reservoirs that can be exploited by malaria parasites.

Human malaria parasites proliferate in different erythroid cell types during infection. Whilst Plasmodium vivax exhibits a strong preference for immature reticulocytes, the more pathogenic P. falciparum primarily infects mature erythrocytes.
