Protein kinases of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: the kinome of a divergent eukaryote.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Parasitoid wasps are well-known natural enemies of major agricultural pests and arthropod borne diseases. The parasitoid wasp Macrocentrus cingulum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) has been widely used to control the notorious insect pests Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian Corn Borer) and O. nubilalis (European corn borer...
