  • Title: Coenzyme A requirement of malaria parasites: enzymes of coenzyme A biosynthesis in normal duck erythrocytes and erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium lophurae.
    Author: Brohn FH, Trager W.
    Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1975 Jun; 72(6):2456-8. PubMed ID: 166388.
    Abstract:
    Normal duck erythrocytes and erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium lopharae have all of the enzymes for coenzyme A biosynthesis, whereas parasites freed from their host cells have non. Since erythrocytefree cultivation of P. lophurae requires an exogenous source of coenzyme A, this parasite must obtain its coenzyme A entirely from the host cell during infection.
