Few diseases have had same global health & economic impacts of malaria
300 million people affected globally each year & 0.7-2.7 million annual deaths
Caused by protozoan parasite Plasmodium (falciparum) most severe form humans
Discovered 100 years ago stage specific differential protein expression
Introduction

Control of malaria uses several approaches◦ Improve diagnosis◦ Improve prophylactic chemotherapy◦ Integrated vector control
Prevalence malaria evident worldwide◦ Drug-resistant parasites◦ Insecticide-resistant vectors
New malaria drugs are expensive & limited in supply
Safe, effective & affordable treatment critical global public health priority

Merozoite invasion of erythrocytesA- Recognition C + D- Tight junction formation/movementB- Reorientation E- Internalisation

Merozoite invasion of RBC’s is highly complex cascade of specific molecular interactions
Complete receptor-ligand interactions unknown
Invasion is central & essential in development of malaria speed & efficiency contributed to evolutionary success & parasitemia
Inhibition of parasite invasion before manifestation of clinical symptoms Advantage

To identify which erythrocyte surface proteins act as receptors during the initial recognition and binding of the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite to the erythrocyte during the invasion process of the malaria parasite
Aim
