Calcium in the Backstage of Malaria Parasite Biology

Calcium in the Backstage of Malaria Parasite Biology

The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in key biological processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In Plasmodium species, Ca2+ signaling plays a central role in the parasite life cycle. It has been associated with parasite development, fertilization, locomotion, and host cel...
