Deletion of the rodent malaria ortholog for falcipain-1 highlights differences between hepatic and blood stage merozoites.

Deletion of the rodent malaria ortholog for falcipain-1 highlights differences between hepatic and blood stage merozoites.

Proteases have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes during the malaria parasite lifecycle. In particular, invasion and egress of the parasite from the infected hepatocyte and erythrocyte, critically depend on protease activity. Although falcipain-1 was the first cysteine protease...
