Overview
To survive and replicate during the intraerythrocytic lifecycle stages, the malaria parasite uses a range of transport processes to take up nutrients, export waste products, and maintain tight regulation over its own internal ionic environment [1]. Plasmodium membrane transport proteins are candidate targets for antimalarial drug discovery but have also been shown to play a role in the development of drug resistance.
