Case Report: Concurrent Babesiosis and GCA/PMR. [PDF]
Immun Inflamm DisBabesiosis is a tick‐transmitted infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Babesia. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are common interrelated inflammatory disorders. This report presents the first case of concurrent babesiosis and GCA/PMR.

Cytoadherence characteristics of rosette-forming Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to the capillary endothelium can cause obstruction and localized tissue damage. Occlusion of vessels in falciparum malaria infection has been related to two properties of the parasite: adhesion to endothelial cells and rosette formation. Our study on P.

Evidence Based Optimal Dosing of Intravenous Artesunate in Children with Severe Falciparum Malaria
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 1304-1312, December 2023., 2023 The majority of deaths from malaria are in young African children. Parenteral artesunate (ARS) is the first‐line treatment for severe falciparum malaria. Since 2015, the World Health Organization has recommended individual doses of 3 mg/kg for children weighing < 20 kg.

Overview of the epidemic characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection around COVID pandemic
iLABMED, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 148-157, December 2023., 2023 Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a cell wall‐less respiratory pathogen causing community‐acquired pneumonia and extrapulmonary manifestations. It is transmitted through close contact and shows periodic regional outbreaks. Mp has two major clonal lineages (P1‐1 and P1‐2) and herd immunity switches are thought to be responsible for the subtype ...

Antisense RNA decreases AP33 gene expression and cytoadherence by T. vaginalis [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2007 Abstract Background Host parasitism by Trichomonas vaginalis is complex. Adherence to vaginal epithelial cells (VECs) is mediated by surface proteins. We showed before that antisense down-regulation of expression of adhesin AP65 decreased amounts of protein, which lowered levels of T. vaginalis adherence to VECs.

Guidelines for the purification and characterization of extracellular vesicles of parasites
Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 2, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Parasites are responsible for the most neglected tropical diseases, affecting over a billion people worldwide (WHO, 2015) and accounting for billions of cases a year and responsible for several millions of deaths. Research on extracellular vesicles (EVs) has increased in recent years and demonstrated that EVs shed by pathogenic parasites ...

PfEMP1 A-Type ICAM-1-Binding Domains Are Not Associated with Cerebral Malaria in Beninese Children
mBio, 2020 PfEMP1 is the major antigen involved in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocyte sequestration in cerebrovascular endothelium. While some PfEMP1 domains have been associated with clinical phenotypes of malaria, formal associations between the ...
