Cell biological analysis reveals an essential role for Pfcerli2 in erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasites

Benjamin Liffner and Miguel Balbin et al. report that the Plasmodium falciparum protein, PfCERLI2, localises to the cytosolic face of the parasite’s rhoptry bulb and is essential for invasion and growth within human red blood cells.
