Multiple invasion of erythrocyte by malaria parasites
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1970Abstract 13 cases of light and heavy infections with P. vivax, P. falciparum, P. ovale and P. malariae were studied. The results suggest a positive correlation between multiple invasion of erythrocytes and the intensity of parasitaemia.

Invasion of canine erythrocytes by Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii
Veterinary Microbiology, 2012Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii is a recognized cause of endocarditis in dogs and human patients and has been associated with cardiac arrhythmias, myocarditis, granulomatous lymphadenitis, polyarthritis, and granulomatous rhinitis in dogs. Little is known regarding the mode of transmission or cellular localization of this bacteria following ...

Hydrophobic interactions in Plasmodium falciparum invasion into human erythrocytes
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1984Human glycophorins block in vitro invasion of Plasmodium falciparum merozoites into human erythrocytes. A segment of glycophorin A which appears to be involved in the inhibition, is at, or adjacent to, the membrane-spanning domain of the molecule. To study the role of hydrophobic interactions in the inhibition, a series of proteins were derivatized ...

The Plasmodium falciparum Genome-- a Blueprint for Erythrocyte Invasion
Science, 2002Erythrocyte invasion by Plasmodium falciparum involves multiple ligand-receptor interactions and numerous apparent redundancies. The genome sequence of this parasite reveals new gene families encoding proteins that appear to mediate erythrocyte invasion.

The role of calcium in the invasion of human erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1992The role of calcium in the invasion of human erythrocytes by Plasmodium falciparum merozoites has been investigated using a variety of techniques. It has been demonstrated using calcium-depleted medium that invasion is dependent upon the presence of calcium and that neither magnesium, manganese or zinc may substitute for it, suggesting that the effect ...

Invasion of Erythrocytes by Malaria Parasites: A Cellular and Molecular Overview
Annual Review of Microbiology, 1986Studies 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, 1995Babesia 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.

In vitro assays for the study of erythrocyte invasion by malarial parasites
Parasitology Today, 1993In 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, 2007Malaria 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.

The mechanism of erythrocyte invasion by the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2011Plasmodium 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 ...
