Product Description
There is an urgent need to uncover new therapies that will protect against malaria, as the parasite becomes increasingly resistant to available drugs and this book offers insights into three interrelated aspects of the malaria-infected erythrocyte:

* The transport of solutes into and out of the infected cell and the use of specific trafficking pathways in drug targeting

* The traffic of proteins produced by the intracellular parasite as an essential process for the biogenesis of transport systems.

* The relationship between the transport of drugs into the infected cell and the mode of drug action and drug resistance.
