Malaria still constitutes one of the world's major infectious diseases, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
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.

The Novartis Foundation is an international scientific and educational charity which promotes the study and general knowledge of science and in particular encourages international co-operation in scientific research.
