Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ is essential for multiple steps in malaria parasite egress from infected erythrocytes
Abstract Background Egress of Plasmodium falciparum, from erythrocytes at the end of its asexual cycle and subsequent parasite invasion into new host cells, is responsible for parasite dissemination in the human body.The egress pathway is emerging as a coordinated multistep programme that extends in time for tens of minutes, ending with rapid paras
