Coma in fatal adult human malaria is not caused by cerebral oedema [PDF]
, 2011 BACKGROUND: The role of brain oedema in the pathophysiology of cerebral malaria is controversial. Coma associated with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria is multifactorial, but associated with histological evidence of parasitized erythrocyte ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Erythrocyte membrane protein 3 (EMAP3) is a novel Plasmodium berghei protein that is trafficked to the outer membrane surface of the infected red blood cell (iRBC). EMAP3 is not critical for parasite growth or sequestration but offers a new scaffold for displaying Plasmodium falciparum proteins on iRBCs.

Is there a role for bradykinin in cerebral malaria pathogenesis?
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Malaria is a parasitic disease of global health significance and a leading cause of death in children living in endemic regions. Although various Plasmodium species are responsible for the disease, Plasmodium falciparum infection accounts for most severe

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...
