Cysteine Residues in Region 6 of the <i>Plasmodium yoelii</i> Erythrocyte-Binding-like Ligand That Are Related to Its Localization and the Course of Infection

<i>Plasmodium</i> malaria parasites use erythrocyte-binding-like (EBL) ligands to invade erythrocytes in their vertebrate host. EBLs are released from micronemes, which are secretory organelles located at the merozoite apical end and bind to erythrocyte surface receptors. Because of thei...
