Abstract: Mosquito-bornePlasmodium parasites that cause malaria have developed a variety of strategies to escape the defences put up by their hosts. A new one has been discovered in a Plasmodiumspecies that affects rodents -- the invading parasites each express a different set of proteins to increase their chances of breaking into and occupying red blood cells so that they can continue their life cycle.
