In honor of #WorldMalariaDay, I am revisiting some of the seminal works of our scientists that were featured on @cellhostmicrobe covers
@cellhostmicrobe first malaria-specific cover was in December of 2008! It highlighted the works of @fidocklab, @PhotiniSinnis17 and colleagues illuminating key differences in liver and blood stage parasites in Fabl role and fatty acid synthesis https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(08)00368-5
In February 2009, @LlinasLab and colleagues described a metabolomics analysis of the parasite's 48 hrs blood-stage cycle. Key finding: potential link between the parasite's arginine depletion and hypoargininemia observed during severe malaria https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(09)00031-6
Invasion, invasion, invasion! In January 2011, @thebaumlab, @sturalph, @afcowman and colleagues blessed us with super resolution dissection of merozoite invasion of rbcs. https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(10)00413-0
In February 2013, the cover depicted fetoplacental arterial vasculature in a mouse model of placental malaria, works from Kevin Kain and colleagues

August 2014 was a double plasmodium epigenetics month with @ManojDuraisingh group and Till Voss' group looking at and linking global antigenic variation regulation and gametocyte conversion

In July 2016, more invasion! @afcowman and colleagues elucidated the sequential molecular events of PfRh5/PfRipr/CyRPA during parasite invasion of rbcs. https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(16)30255-4
In March 2018, A cool mosaic representation of micropatterned primary human hepatocyte co-cultures sustaining the infamous P.vivax liver stage, works from @snbhatia's group and colleagues. https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(18)30037-4
