Specific expression and export of the Plasmodium falciparum Gametocyte EXported Protein-5 marks the gametocyte ring stage [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2015 Plasmodium falciparum sexual development plays a fundamental role in the transmission and spread of malaria. The ability to generate gametocytes can be lost during culture in vitro, often associated with the loss of a subtelomeric region of chromosome 9. Gametocytogenesis starts with erythrocyte invasion by a sexually committed merozoite, but the first

Clathrins Are Involved in the Endocytosis of Host Cytosol in the Malaria Parasite
Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 1, March 2026.This study characterized clathrin function in hemoglobin uptake from host red blood cells via the malaria parasite's specific endocytosis machinery, cytostome. Clathrin heavy chain, clathrin light chain, and AP‐1 γ subunit were found associated with certain proteins known to be involved in cytostome function, and they were localized at the collars of ...

A reiterative method for calculating the early bactericidal activity of antituberculosis drugs.
, 2002 Studies of early bactericidal activity (EBA) are important in the rapid evaluation of new antituberculosis drugs. Historically, these have concentrated on the log fall in the viable count in sputum during the first 48 hours of therapy.

Gametocyte carriage in uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria following treatment with artemisinin combination therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data. [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Gametocytes are responsible for transmission of malaria from human to mosquito. Artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) reduces post-treatment gametocyte carriage, dependent upon host, parasite and pharmacodynamic factors.

Production of Plasmodium falciparum Gametocytes In Vitro [PDF]
, 2012 Production of gametocytes in vitro is essential for studies of Plasmodium falciparum sexual stages. Here, we describe procedures for the high-yield production and fractionation of P. falciparum gametocytes stages I to V.

The Gates Malaria Partnership: a consortium approach to malaria research and capacity development.
, 2012 Recently, there has been a major increase in financial support for malaria control. Most of these funds have, appropriately, been spent on the tools needed for effective prevention and treatment of malaria such as insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor ...

Plasticity in transmission strategies of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi : environmental and genetic effects [PDF]
, 2012 Parasites may alter their behaviour to cope with changes in the within-host environment. In particular, investment in transmission may alter in response to the availability of parasite resources or host immune responses.
