Host cell traversal by Plasmodium parasites is essential for sterilizing hepatic cellular immunity.

Ana Rodrigues, António M. Mendes, Rute Gonçalves, Helena Nunes‐Cabaço, Sofia Marques, Nuno Valente-Leal, Cristina Ferreira, Marc Veldhoen, Miguel Prudêncio, Maria M. Mota, Ângelo Ferreira Chora

This study shows that Plasmodium sporozoites must traverse host cells to induce sterilizing immunity, challenging the idea that intrahepatic development alone is sufficient for protection.

A spatiotemporally resolved single cell atlas of the Plasmodium liver stage

Amichay Afriat, Vanessa Zuzarte‐Luís, Keren Bahar Halpern, Lisa Buchauer, Sofia Marques, Ângelo Ferreira Chora, Aparajita Lahree, Ido Amit, Maria M. Mota, Shalev Itzkovitz

This study creates a spatiotemporally resolved single-cell atlas of Plasmodium liver stage infection, revealing zone-specific parasite gene expression and immune responses in hepatocytes.
