Abstract:
Here we report an efficient site-specific system of genetic integration into Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasitechromosomes. This is mediated by mycobacteriophage Bxb1integrase which catalyzes recombination between an incomingattP and a chromosoma

Keywords:
Plasmodium falciparum; mycobacteriophage Bxb1 integrase

Materials & Methods:
For GFP imaging live infected erythrocytes were adhered to polylysine-coated MatTeck glass-bottom Petri dishes.
