DESCRIPTION:Parasitic infections cause a major global burden in terms of hu
 man health whilst also affecting livestock and agriculture. Understanding 
 their biology is essential to identify potential candidates for drug and v
 accine development. To support the scientific community in this effort\, t
 he UniProt knowledgebase (UniProtKB) provides a comprehensive\, high-quali
 ty and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional infor
 mation for a wide range of species including parasites and\, their hosts a
 nd vectors.  \n  \n This webinar\, part of a [series covering various asp
 ects of UniProt](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/search-results?query=unipr
 ot&amp\;domain=ebiweb_training_events&amp\;page=1&amp\;facets=\,type:Webin
 ar\,year:2022\,year:2021)\, will give you an overview on what type of func
 tional information we provide and how to search and retrieve it. We will a
 lso describe the curation process\, including how we annotate sequence pol
 ymorphism\, the interaction between host and parasite proteins\, and how w
 e highlight the potential biotechnological use of a protein. To illustrate
  these various aspects\, we will use the parasite _P. falciparum_\, the ca
 usative agent of malaria\, as an example.
