    Abstract

    Since the publication of the sequence of the genome of Plasmodium falciparum, the major causative agent of human malaria, many post-genomic studies have been completed. Invaluably, these data can now be analysed comparatively owing to the availability of a significant amount of genome-sequence data from several closely related model species of Plasmodium and accompanying global proteome and transcriptome studies. This review summarizes our current knowledge and how this has already been--and will continue to be--exploited in the search for vaccines and drugs against this most significant infectious disease of the tropics.
