Brief description Malaria is one of the major infectious diseases challenging the world today. There is no effective vaccine, and the malaria parasite has developed resistance to most of the antimalarial drugs that we presently have available. This work focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which the malaria parasite takes up particular classes of nutrients from the surrounding environment. It paves the way for the exploitation of these mechanisms as new and much-needed antimalarial drug targets.
