Abstract:Background: Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) is one of the deadliest species responsible for the major deaths related to malaria. Recently emerging research has focused on small noncoding RNAs especially mature microRNAs (miRNAs) (19-25 nts) which play regulatory role chiefly by targeting mRNAs' cleavage or translational repression. During infection, parasitic Plasmodium invades and takes command of the host cell for its survival and develops into its various life stages. Seeing that host, miRNAs consider… Show more
