In 2023, globally, there were an estimated 263 million new malaria cases and 597,000 deaths. Plasmodium falciparum, the causative parasite of malaria, invade red blood cells and consumes hemoglobin, preventing oxygen transport to the heart, resulting in heart failure. Additionally, parasitized RBCs stick to the wall of blood vessels in the heart and brain to evade the immune system, which leads to inflammation and blood vessel blockage to these vital organs thus, it is imperative to understand the essential factors involved in the P. falciparum RBC invasion process to develop therapeutic interventions.
