Structural basis for DARC binding in reticulocyte invasion by Plasmodium vivax
Abstract The symptoms of malaria occur during the blood stage of infection, when the parasite replicates within human red blood cells. The human malaria parasite, Plasmodium vivax, selectively invades reticulocytes in a process which requires an interaction between the ectodomain of the human DARC r...
