DBL protein function in Plasmodium chabaudi invasion and cytoadhesion

疟原虫（P.）是一种经过数百万年进化的寄生虫，在一系列动物宿主中引起疟疾。有六种感染人类的物种和超过200种感染动物的物种，包括啮齿动物和猴子，它们通常被用作研究基本寄生虫生物学和免疫学的模型。疟原虫对这些宿主的影响从良性到致命感染不等，这取决于寄生虫遗传学和宿主对感染的反应能力。

Plasmodium (P.) is a parasite that has evolved over millions of years and causes malaria in a range of animal hosts. There are six species that infect humans and over two hundred other species that infect animals, including rodents and monkeys, which are commonly used as models to study basic parasite biology and immunology. The effects of Plasmodium on these hosts vary from benign to lethal infections, depending on parasite genetics and the ability of the host to respond to infection.
