Parasite virulence factors during falciparum malaria: rosetting, cytoadherence, and modulation of cytoadherence by cytokines [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1993 To determine virulence factors of isolates of Plasmodium falciparum and the potential role of cytokines in cerebral malaria, 46 Malagasy patients presenting with cerebral (n = 10), severe (n = 10), and uncomplicated (n = 26) malaria were enrolled in a study. The capacity of 21 of 46 P.

Insights into the Cytoadherence Phenomenon of Plasmodium vivax: The Putative Role of Phosphatidylserine [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread and the dominant human malaria parasite in most countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa and, although it was classically recognized to cause benign infection, severe cases and deaths caused by P ...

Cytoadherence phenotype of infected erythrocytes is associated with specific expression in parasites from children with cerebral malaria [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2014 BackgroundCytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum- infected erythrocytes (IEs) in deep microvasculature endothelia plays a major role in the pathogenesis of cerebral malaria (CM). This biological process is thought to be mediated by P.

Pathogenesis of cerebral malaria—inflammation and cytoadherence [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Despite decades of research on cerebral malaria (CM) there is still a paucity of knowledge about what actual causes CM and why certain people develop it. Although sequestration of P. falciparum infected red blood cells has been linked to pathology, it is

Cytoadherence characteristics to endothelial receptors ICAM-1 and CD36 of Plasmodium falciparum populations from severe and uncomplicated malaria cases [PDF]
Parasite, 2008 The adhesion of infected red blood cells (IRBCs) to the cell lining of microvasculature is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of severe malaria.

A chromosome 9 deletion in Plasmodium falciparum results in loss of cytoadherence [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992 Many lines of Plasmodium falciparum undrgo a deletion of the right end of chromosome 9 during in vitro culture accompanied by loss of cytoadherence and gametocytogenesis.

Endothelial glycocalyx regulates cytoadherence in Plasmodium falciparum malaria [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2018 Malaria is associated with significant microcirculation disorders, especially when the infection reaches its severe stage. This can lead to a range of fatal conditions, from cerebral malaria to multiple organ failure, of not fully understood pathogenesis.
