Introduction

Malaria is a deadly disease which strikes
throughout the wide tropical zones of the world. Because of the
continuing failures of vaccines against this disease, we believe a key
toward solving this situation is to solidify the foundation of our
understanding of the basic biology of this parasite. We are
investigating fundamental questions such as the invasion mechanism of
erythrocytes by merozoites and cytoadherence of the parasite-infected
erythrocytes. In addition, we are also conducting researches to
elucidate the intracellular survival strategy of Trypanosma cruzi and Leishmania epidemiology.
