Invasion of Erythrocytes by Malaria Parasites: A Cellular and Molecular Overview

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1986
Studies on the morphology, cell biology, and immunology of invasion have characterized events that are now being studied at the molecular level. The initial events of invasion are receptor-specific. A determinant associated with Duffy blood group antigens is involved in the invasion of human erythrocytes by P. knowlesi and P. vivax.

Babesia bigemina: Host Factors Affecting the Invasion of Erythrocytes

Experimental Parasitology, 1995
Babesia bigemina merozoites enter their host's erythrocytes by an unknown mechanism that likely involves parasite surface components. Identification of the parasite ligands involved in invasion is hampered by a lack of basic information about the invasion characteristics of Babesia bigemina.

Chapter 23 Invasion of Erythrocytes

2008
Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of the research work conducted to analyze the invasion of erythrocytes in case of malaria. In 1969, the invasion of erythrocytes by merozoites was described in electron microscopic studies. With improvements in electron microscopy techniques and membrane sieving methods that allowed for isolation of

In vitro assays for the study of erythrocyte invasion by malarial parasites

Parasitology Today, 1993
In vitro assays for the study o f erythrocyte invasion by merozoites are available for several primate and rodent malarial species. These assays are essential means by which potential anti-merozoite vaccine candidates are identified. John Dalton, John McNally and Susan O'Donovan describe the various types of invasion assays that are in current use ...

Erythrocyte invasion: Vocabulary and grammar of the Plasmodium rhoptry

Parasitology International, 2007
Malaria is a dangerous infectious disease caused by obligate intracellular protozoan Plasmodium parasites. In the vertebrate host, erythrocyte recognition and establishment of a nascent parasitophorous vacuole are essential processes, and are largely achieved using molecules located in the microorganelles of the invasive-stage parasites.

Plasmodium falciparum: Protease inhibitors and inhibition of erythrocyte invasion

Experimental Parasitology, 1986
Invasion of human red blood cells by Plasmodium falciparum is inhibited by the protease inhibitors, leupeptin and chymostatin. The efficacy of chymostatin was reduced if the cells were first treated with chymotrypsin. On the other hand, exposure of fresh cells to the supernatant from a synchronous culture at the reinvasion stage showed no such effect ...

The mechanism of erythrocyte invasion by the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2011
Plasmodium falciparum is the most virulent causative agent of malaria in man accounting for 80% of all malarial infections and 90% of the one million annual deaths attributed to malaria. P. falciparum is a unicellular, Apicomplexan parasite, that spends part of its lifecycle in the mosquito and part in man and it has evolved a special form of motility ...

Malaria invasion of human erythrocytes

International Journal of Peptide and Protein Research, 1988
The objective of this study was to determine whether a nonglycosylated portion of glycophorin A (GPA), the main erythrocyte membrane glycoprotein, was involved in the process of invasion of red blood cells (RBC) by merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite responsible for the most severe form of malaria. A series of peptides covering the sequence

The role of FTL_0129 in the invasion of erythrocytes by Francisella tularensis.

Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science, 2016
Francisella tularensis is a bacterium that can infect humans with fewer than ten bacteria and is the causative agent of tularemia. If untreated, tularemia causes mortality in approximately 60% of those infected. Due to the ability of this bacterium to be aerosolized and the high mortality rate, F.

Static and Dynamic Imaging of Erythrocyte Invasion and Early Intra-erythrocytic Development in Plasmodium falciparum

2012
Cellular imaging has reemerged in recent years as a powerful approach to provide researchers with a direct measure of essential molecular events in a cell's life, ranging in scale from broad morphological observations of whole cells to intricate single molecule imaging.
