Recently, the PvRBP2b protein was identified as a key invasion ligand for the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax, as it binds to the transferrin-1 receptor (CD71) on the surface of immature red blood cells, known as reticulocytes, targeted by the parasite for invasion. Evidence has emerged that naturally acquired antibodies to PvRBP2b are associated with reduced malaria risk in both high- …
Malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax, the most common form of the disease in the Americas, continues to be a major public health problem, including in Brazil. In order to develop new strategies for controlling and treating vivax malaria, it is essential to gain a better understanding on red blood cell (RBC) invasion mechanisms used by the parasite. One of the key ligand-receptor interaction…
