Abstract

Cure of rodent malaria with the biocide triclosan highlighted the enzyme FabI as an antimalarial drug target. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Yu et al. (2008) show that FabI is not the principle target of triclosan yet plays an important role specifically in malaria liver stage development.
