Deskripsi

Host-parasite interactions during the exoerythrocytic stage of Plasmodium infection remains poorly understood. Using dual RNA-Seq, the authors show that human mucosal immunity protein mucin-13 is upregulated during Plasmodium hepatic-stage infection and marks infected cells independent of tested Plasmodium species.
