The malaria parasite life cycle involves two hosts; during a blood meal, a malaria-infected female Anopheles mosquito inoculates sporozoites into the human host, which infect the liver, mature into tissue schizonts, and rupture releasing merozoites which in turn infect red blood cells.

− 20°C in the RPMI/Albumax culture medium. (ii) After synchronization using D-sorbitol, cultures containing mature schizonts were centrifuged 10 min at 700xg at RT on a 75% isotonic percoll cushion.

These proteases are expressed sequentially across the life cycle of erythrocytic parasites, with expression of falcipain-2 beginning in early trophozoites followed by expression of falcipain-3 in late trophozoites and schizonts

In any event, our new results suggest that, although a diverse set of proteases is likely required for optimal hydrolysis of hemoglobin, the sequential expression of falcipain-2 in early trophozoites and then falcipain-3 in late trophozoites and schizonts Our study has important limitations.
