Profile of metacaspase gene expression in Plasmodium vivax field isolates from the Brazilian Amazon
CONCLUSION: The detection of metacaspases in P. vivax blood-stage parasites reported herein, allows the inclusion of these proteases as a potential candidate drug target for vivax malaria, while further investigations are still required to evaluate the activity, role and essentiality of metacaspases in P. vivax biology.PMID:38683374 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-024-09538-x
