Detailed 3D view of babesiosis parasite's ribosome could guide development of targeted treatments

A new study has revealed a three-dimensional, near-atomic-resolution view of the ribosome from Babesia divergens, one of several Babesia species known to infect humans and cause babesiosis. The structural insights from this close-up view could help researchers identify parasite-specific features that may be exploited for future drug development.
