Distinct external signals trigger sequential release of apical organelles during erythrocyte invasion by malaria parasites. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 The invasion of erythrocytes by Plasmodium merozoites requires specific interactions between host receptors and parasite ligands. Parasite proteins that bind erythrocyte receptors during invasion are localized in apical organelles called micronemes and ...

A novel Plasmodium falciparum rhoptry associated adhesin mediates erythrocyte invasion through the sialic-acid dependent pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum merozoites is central to blood-stage infection and malaria pathogenesis. This intricate process is coordinated by multiple parasite adhesins that bind ...

Invasion by P. falciparum merozoites suggests a hierarchy of molecular interactions. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2005 Central to the pathology of malaria disease are the repeated cycles of parasite invasion and destruction of human erythrocytes. In Plasmodium falciparum, the most virulent species causing malaria, erythrocyte invasion involves several specific receptor ...

eLife, 2017 Plasmodium falciparum causes malaria in humans with over 450,000 deaths annually. The asexual blood stage involves invasion of erythrocytes by merozoites, in which they grow and divide to release daughter merozoites, which in turn invade new erythrocytes

Super-resolution dissection of coordinated events during malaria parasite invasion of the human erythrocyte [PDF]
, 2011 Erythrocyte invasion by the merozoite is an obligatory stage in Plasmodium parasite infection and essential to malaria disease progression. Attempts to study this process have been hindered by the poor invasion synchrony of merozoites from the only in ...

Bartonella henselaeInvasion of Feline Erythrocytes In Vitro [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1998 ABSTRACTBartonella henselae, the causative agent of cat scratch disease, establishes long-term bacteremia in cats, in which it attaches to and invades feline erythrocytes (RBC). Feline RBC invasion was assessed in vitro, based on gentamicin selection for intracellular bacteria or by laser confocal microscopy and digital sectioning.

The Cellular and Molecular Interaction Between Erythrocytes and Plasmodium falciparum Merozoites
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Plasmodium falciparum is the most lethal human malaria parasite, partly due to its genetic variability and ability to use multiple invasion routes via its binding to host cell surface receptors.

Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
, 2009 Malaria poses a severe threat to global public health, with the majority of the world’s population living in malaria-endemic settings. Plasmodium falciparum is a major cause of malaria, and is the predominant cause of fatal malaria.
