A Novel Erythrocyte Binding Protein of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Plasmodium vivax</named-content> Suggests an Alternate Invasion Pathway into Duffy-Positive Reticulocytes

ABSTRACT Erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasites is essential for blood-stage development and an important determinant of host range. In Plasmodium vivax, the interaction between the Duffy binding protein (DBP) and its cognate receptor, the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC), on human er...
