Dissertação de Mestrado em Biologia Celular e Molecular, apresentada ao Departamento de Ciências da Vida da Universidade de Coimbra.Malaria has long been a threat to survival and persistently challenging at vaccine development. With a stuttering rise in drug resistant strains of the human parasites - Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, it is of paramount concern to identify new drug targets, which would render infection unsustainable at the earliest stage. As an essential co-factor iron has a critical role in virtually every cell from the simplest prokaryotes to complex eukaryotes. In humans, the fine tuning of iron homeostatic mechanism also dictates the outcomes to various infections. Plasmodium with its intricate life cycle ...
