Want to see malaria breaking and entering?

From New Scientist:

“The video [below] captures the moment when a malaria parasite invades a human red blood cell – the first time the event has been caught in high resolution.

The Plasmodium parasite responsible for malaria is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes, and is thought to kill almost 1 million people worldwide each year.”
