Talk:Plasmodium falciparum: New Developments

From MicrobeWiki, the student-edited microbiology resource

Awesome! The discussion about hemoglobin degradation and the life cycle were really interesting. I also had no idea that malaria was so prevalent in ancient Rome so that was very cool to learn about. I would love to hear more about the mechanism of P. falciparum entry into human cells. Great job! -Emma Stewart-Bates

Really cool and thorough page! I particularly enjoyed reading about the metabolism of P. falciparum. My one suggestion would be to beef up the section about the immune response to infection by P. falciparum. Otherwise, nice work. -- Daniel Maffezzoli

Nice page! I just have a point about references. I think it would be very helpful if the citation was put in for the reference, e.g. [1]. Please look in the edit portion to see the example citation. Secondly, for your taxonomy classification, it would be really cool/helpful if it was laid out in a side table or a tree format. A link directly to the NCBI taxonomy database might be sufficient, e.g. NCBI: Taxonomy Genome
