A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite ...

The SPBs, embedded in the nuclear membrane, orchestrate spindle dynamics during the closed mitosis typical of these species. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium spp., exhibits unique adaptations in ...

The parasites that cause malaria—Plasmodium species—have complex lifecycles. They are spread between hosts by mosquitoes, spend some time maturing in liver cells, and then eventually end up inside red ...

Comprehensive genetic mapping of Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite that causes malaria, has revealed the genes required for malaria infection of the blood, and those driving drug resistance.

The map contains the most complete classification of essential genes in any Plasmodium species and can be used to identify druggable parasite targets and mechanisms of drug resistance that can ...
