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

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

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.

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.

Switching Plasmodium falciparum genes on and off for erythrocyte invasion

Trends in Parasitology, 2008
Culture-adapted lines of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum use alternative pathways for the invasion of erythrocytes. The expression of parasite ligands that are involved in the different pathways varies among parasite lines. Recently, several studies have attempted to characterize the use of different invasion pathways and the expression of ...

The Role of FTL_1228 in Erythrocyte Invasion by Francisella tularensis.

Proceedings of the West Virginia Academy of Science, 2018
Francisella tularensis is a pathogenic bacterium that can cause tularemia in mammals through several routes of infection including bites from infected arthropods, through contaminated water or aerosols, and by physical contact with infected animals. Tularemia is a deadly disease with a mortality rate of 60% in untreated cases. Due to the high mortality
