Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 1 paralog as a mediator of parasite adherence to reticulocytes
Plasmodium vivax parasites preferentially invade reticulocytes in human beings. P. vivax merozoite surface protein 1 (PvMSP1) and PvMSP1 paralog (PvMSP1P) may have important functions in reticulocyte adherence during invasion. These proteins share similar structures, including the presence of two ep...
