Zusammenfassung:	The completion of the Plasmodium falciparum genome project will greatly aid the development of new methods to counterattack malaria, but to understand the data the project produces, a detailed understanding of the parasite's biology is essential. New research by Salmon et al tackles the fundamental unsolved problem of how malaria parasites escape from red blood cells.
