This resource of extracellular P. falciparum merozoite proteins, which now contains 62 full - length ectodomains, will be a valuable tool in elucidating the function of these proteins during
the blood stages of infection, and facilitate the comparative assessment of blood stage vaccine candidates.
Researchers determined that the compound DSM265 kills the malaria parasite Plasmodium in both liver and
blood stages of infection.

stage could block the initial round
of blood infection or perhaps even eradicate the dormant parasite pool and prevent relapse.

stage of the

of the white
blood cells and dysfunction

infection has progressed to the advanced
stage of causing
