| Research Abstract |
During the process of invasion, maralia parasite initiates the formation of a membrane, the so-called parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM). PVM is associated with host-parasite interaction. In this study, we analysed membrane dynamics and target signal to PVM in malaria parasite. We succeed in visualization of PVM and deternimation of forming period of tubulovesicular membrane network and circular clefts.
