A hypothetical malarial protein, PFB0670c, was predicted to be involved in merozoite invasion, which plays an important role in parasitic survival inside the host. In this study, nine time points of parasite samples were collected throughout the 44 hour intraerythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) to...
