摘要: Plasmodium parasites are the causative agent of malaria, a disease that kills approximately 450,000 individuals annually, with majority deaths occurring in children under age 5 years and development malaria vaccine is global health priority. undergo complex life cycle requiring numerous diverse protein families. The blood stage parasite results clinical manifestation disease. A disrupts highly desired will aid control malaria. comprises multiple steps: invasion of, asexual growth within, egress from red cells. This review focuses on blood-stage antigens emphasis antigen structure, function, neutralizing antibodies, potential.
