Falciparum malaria remains a devastating infectious disease, killing nearly 700,000 people annually. Further understanding of malaria pathogenesis will help identify molecular and cellular targets of next-generation therapeutics. The morbidity and mortality of malaria infection occur during the erythrocytic stage. Study of erythrocytic stage malaria is critical not only for new anti-malarial development, but also for increasing our understanding of the host pathogen relationship. For example, many host genetic polymorphisms known to impact red blood cell (RBC) physiology also alter malaria susceptibility.Methods for culturing erythrocytic stage P. falciparum were developed more than 30 years ago (Jensen & Trager, 1977). However, optimization of in vitro P. falciparum culture is still under investigation. The aspects of intraerythrocytic development that are impacted by RBC storage, as well as the effects of RBC biopreservation on the intraerythrocytic life cycle, remain unknown.
