Characterization of Host Cell Cytosol-filled Vesicles in the Human Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Endocytosis of host cell cytosol is a key process in malaria blood stages. The endocytosed material consists mostly of haemoglobin (Hb) and is transported to the parasite’s digestive vacuole (DV), where it is degraded. However, the endosomal transport pathway of the parasite is not well defined. A number of proteins ar...
