Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum parasites remain the deadliest form of malaria, and it remains a significant global health challenge New research from Stellenbosch University shows that three small, highly specialized proteins in P. falciparum play a critical role in the parasite’s survival across its complicated life cycle. Disrupting those three proteins could significantly impact on the parasite’s ability to survive and propagate
