The inner membrane complex protein, IMC55, is dispensable for intra-erythrocytic development of Plasmodium falciparum

Grace W. Vick, Manuel A. Fierro, Annabella Castiglione…·Vasant Muralidharan

This study shows that IMC55 is not required for asexual replication of Plasmodium falciparum in the intra-erythrocytic stage.
