ABSTRACT
The morbidity associated with malaria plays a key role in the staggering of the social and economic development of human race. The investigations on the cellular, biochemical and molecular organisation of the malarial parasite are important to understand the host parasite interactions in a better way. The parasite induces several biochemical and biophysical alterations in the host red cells. It is well recognized that cation homeostasis is vital to basic aspects of cell functions. Though the pathogenesis of anaemia associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection is multifactorial, the complex mechanisms involving the role of oxidant stress and calcium imbalance of infected red cells plays an important role.
