Malarial Lipids

An Overview

  • Chapter
Intracellular Parasites

Part of the book series: Subcellular Biochemistry ((SCBI,volume 18))

Abstract

The process of erythrocyte invasion by the malaria-causing protozoan, Plasmodium, is associated with the sudden appearance of a membrane-delimited foreign body and the growth of the intracellular parasite is associated with a dramatic increase in the total membrane area. This heterotrophic organism installs structures to converse with the host erythrocyte, producing appropriate changes by remote control in the erythrocytic host membrane to assure its own nutrition, maturation, and survival against the host immune system. Plasmodium has proved to be a useful and rich model because it concentrates complex biochemistry and very intricate mechanisms to escape host immune responses.
