Abstract
⺠The infection by the malaria parasite is initiated in host hepatocyte. ⺠The intracellular calcium increased during sporozoite transformation. ⺠Modulators of calcium signaling accelerated the sporozoite-rounding process. ⺠Calcium signal regulates the morphological development of sporozoite to EEF. ⺠We proposed a role for calcium as a transducer in the parasitic life cycle.
