摘要
The treatment of malaria and other such diseases, which are caused by protozoa, is faced with problems from the rapid spread of resistant parasites. Aquaporins, cellular water and solute channels of the parasite-host interface, are potential novel drug targets. Research on protozoan aquaporin physiology and protein structure and function is currently taking up speed.
