Abstract

The recent re-emphasis on malaria eradication has made developing drugs that block transmission and terminate latent disease critical. Most drugs do not affect the liver stages - an ability that is crucial to the latter goal. Addressing this problem, Hoepfner et al. (2012) uncover the parasite's lysyl-tRNA synthetase as a druggable target.
