cAMP-Signalling Regulates Gametocyte-Infected Erythrocyte Deformability Required for Malaria Parasite Transmission. [PDF]

, 2015
Blocking Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes has been designated a strategic objective in the global agenda of malaria elimination. Transmission is ensured by gametocyte-infected erythrocytes (GIE) that sequester in the bone marrow and at ...

Molecular and morphological characterization of one known and three new species of fish parasitic Trypanosoma Gruby, 1972 from the south coast of South Africa

Parasitology
The genus Trypanosoma Gruby, 1843 encompasses unique, flagellate haemoparasites infecting all vertebrate classes globally (excluding Antarctica). While trypanosomes in terrestrial mammals are well-studied due to their medical and veterinary significance,

Immune-mediated competition in rodent malaria is most likely caused by induced changes in innate immune clearance of merozoites [PDF]

, 2014
Malarial infections are often genetically diverse, leading to competitive interactions between parasites. A quantitative understanding of the competition between strains is essential to understand a wide range of issues, including the evolution of ...

Plasma carotenoid levels in passerines are related to infection by (some) parasites

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Plumage coloration plays an important role in intra and inter-sexual competition in birds. Many of the yellow, orange or red colours present in birds are carotenoid dependent. Carotenoids can not be synthetized de novo by birds and consequently should be

First record of Ixodes (Scaphixodes) caledonicus in the Carpathian Basin and first time molecular-phylogenetic analysis of this tick species with updated host records and geographical range

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Four Ixodes species represent the subgenus Scaphixodes Schulze, 1941 in Europe, but none of them were reported to be compared in a molecular-phylogenetic context. This study compensates for this lack of data.
