There is an urgent need to uncover new therapies that will protect
against malaria, as the parasite becomes increasingly resistant to
available drugs and this book offers insights into three
interrelated aspects of the malaria-infected erythrocyte:
* The transport of solutes into and out of the infected cell and
the use of specific trafficking pathways in drug targeting
* The traffic of proteins produced by the intracellular parasite as
an essential process for the biogenesis of transport systems.
* The relationship between the transport of drugs into the infected
cell and the mode of drug action and drug resistance.
