pubmed:abstractText
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is one o f the most widespread o f human parasitic diseases and is responsible for the deaths of several million people in subtropical and tropical regions o f the world. The interaction o f malarial merozoites with erythrocytes and the adherence o f infected erythrocytes to the endothelium are among the cellular interactions extensively studied to define candidate antigens for a blood stage vaccine. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the invasion o f erythrocytes by P. falciparum merozoites and their subsequent binding to endothelium are not yet understood. Here Mats Wahlgren, Johan Carlson, Rachonee Udomsangpetch and Peter Perlmonn discuss a novel cytoodherence phenomenon which may be o f great importance in this context, that is, the spontaneous binding o f uninfected erythrocytes to those infected with late-stage parasites (trophozoites/schizonts).
