Approaches to characterize parasite development, biomarker discovery, and novel therapeutic targets

Approximately 230,000,000 infections and more than 400,000 deaths ( 67% children) per year. These are some of the hair-raising numbers tied to Malaria. Here we review a recent study where metabolomics approaches helped characterize blood-stage parasite development, biomarker discovery, and novel therapeutic targets.
