BioID Reveals Novel Proteins of the <italic toggle="yes">Plasmodium</italic> Parasitophorous Vacuole Membrane

ABSTRACT During their development within the vertebrate host, Plasmodium parasites infect hepatocytes and red blood cells. Within these cells, parasites are surrounded by a parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM). The PVM plays an essential role for the interaction of parasites with their host cells;...
