  • Erythrocyte Shape Change Prevents Plasmodium falciparum Invasion 
    Boampong, Johnson Nyarko; Manno, Sumie; Koshino, Ichiro; Takakuwa, Yuichi (University of Cape Coast, 2007)
    Normal erythrocytes have biconcave discoid shape that presents large surface area with higher cell surface to vol- ume ratio than that of spherical shape. This appears to allow membrane internalization required for ...
