Skeleton of malaria parasite reveals its secrets
Research teams from UNIGE have discovered that the cytoskeleton of the malaria parasite comprises a vestigial form of an organelle called conoid, initially thought to be absent from this species and which could play a role in host invasion.

Plasmodium is the parasite causing malaria, one of the deadliest parasitic diseases. The parasite requires two hosts -the Anopheles mosquito and the human- to complete its life cycle and goes through different forms at each stage of its life cycle. Transitioning from one form to the next involves a massive reorganisation of the cytoskeleton. Two teams from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have shed new light on the cytoskeleton organisation in Plasm ....
