Virulence and the immune response in malaria

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
Many factors determine the virulence of a malaria infection. These include host innate resistance mechanisms and, with Plasmodium falciparum, the ability to cytoadhere to endothelial cells, form rosetts, and induce release of cytokines.

Protein moonlighting in parasitic protists [PDF]

, 2014
Reductive evolution during the adaptation to obligate parasitism and expansions of gene families encoding virulence factors are characteristics evident to greater or lesser degrees in all parasitic protists studied to date.

On cytoadhesion of Plasmodium vivax: raison d'être?

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011
It is generally accepted that Plasmodium vivax, the most widely distributed human malaria parasite, causes mild disease and that this species does not sequester in the deep capillaries of internal organs.

Re-defining the Golgi complex in Plasmodium falciparum using the novel Golgi marker PfGRASP [PDF]

, 2005
Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria, relies on a sophisticated protein secretion system for host cell invasion and transformation.

Cytoadherence‐dependent induction of inflammatory responses by Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Immunology, 2011
SummaryPathogenesis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is considered to be in part attributed to excessive immune responses. Mycoplasma pneumoniae shows strong cytoadherence to host cells and this cytoadherence is thought to be involved in the progression of pneumonia.

Plasmodium Falciparum: Adhesion Phenotype of Infected Erythrocytes Using Classical and Mini-Column Cytoadherence Techniques

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2013
Background: Cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum- infected erythrocytes to host cells is an impor­tant trait for parasite survival and has a major role in pathology of malaria disease. Infections with P.

Experimental Models of Microvascular Immunopathology: The Example of Cerebral Malaria. [PDF]

, 2014
