An essential malaria protein defines the architecture of blood-stage and transmission-stage parasites
Blood-stage malaria parasites replicate through a specialised type of cell division known as schizogony. Here, Absalon et al. identify a parasite protein that is essential during schizogony for cytokinesis and formation of the inner membrane complex, the structural scaffold of daughter parasites.
