Description
Summary:Clare Harding works on the metal biology of the parasite In this mSphere of Influence article, she reflects on how two papers from the laboratory of Maria Mota, "Host-mediated regulation of superinfection in malaria" by Portugal et al. (S. Portugal, C. Carret, M. Recker, A. E. Armitage, et al., Nat Med 17:732-737, 2011, https://doi.org/10.1038/nm.2368) and "Nutrient sensing modulates malaria parasite virulence" by Mancio-Silva et al. (L. Mancio-Silva, K. Slavic, M. T. Grilo Ruivo, A. R. Grosso, et al., Nature 547:213-216, 2017, https://doi.org/10.1038/nature23009), made an impact on her understanding of host-pathogen interactions by examining the complex interplay between parasites and their hosts' nutritional status.
