A combinatorial genetics approach reveals limits to redundancy within Plasmodium falciparum invasion ligand families

Eleanor Silvester, Anna Kuroshchenkova, Carla Briggs…·Julian C. Rayner

This study uses combinatorial genetics to assess redundancy in Plasmodium falciparum invasion ligands, finding that certain gene pairs significantly impact parasite invasion.

Optical tweezers reveal that PfEBA and PfRH ligands, not PfMSP1, play a central role in Plasmodium-falciparum merozoite-erythrocyte attachment

Emma Kals, Morten Kals, Rebecca A. Lees…·Julian C. Rayner

The paper uses optical tweezers to measure merozoite-erythrocyte attachment forces and identifies PfEBA and PfRH ligands as critical for attachment, not PfMSP1.
