Changes in metabolic phenotypes of Plasmodium falciparum in vitro cultures during gametocyte development. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Gametocytes are the Plasmodium life stage that is solely responsible for malaria transmission. Despite their important role in perpetuating malaria, gametocyte differentiation and development is poorly understood.

Avian malaria co-infections confound infectivity and vector competence assays of Plasmodium homopolare. [PDF]

, 2018
Currently, there are very few studies of avian malaria that investigate relationships among the host-vector-parasite triad concomitantly. In the current study, we experimentally measured the vector competence of several Culex mosquitoes for a newly ...

The sex ratio of Plasmodium gametocytes

Parasitology, 1989
SUMMARYSex ratio theory usually predicts an equilibrium sex ratio and equal proportions of males and females in a population, including the progenitors of the reproductive cells of protozoans. This proposal was tested with three species of malarial parasites of lizards, Plasmodium mexicanum of the western fence lizard, and P. agamae and P. giganteum of

Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum from the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh. [PDF]

, 2004
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of antimalarial treatment and molecular markers of Plasmodium falciparum resistance in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. METHODS: A total of 203 patients infected with P.

Simple supplementation of serum-free medium produces gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum that transmit to mosquitoes

Malaria Journal
Background Human serum is a major component of Plasmodium falciparum culture medium, and can be replaced with AlbuMAX™ II, a lipid-rich bovine serum albumin, for asexual cultures.

Low Levels of Human Antibodies to Gametocyte-Infected Erythrocytes Contrasts the PfEMP1-Dominant Response to Asexual Stages in P. falciparum Malaria

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Vaccines that target Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes have the potential to reduce malaria transmission and are thus attractive targets for malaria control. However, very little is known about human immune responses to gametocytes present in human hosts.

DNA synthesis in gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum

Parasitology, 1988
SUMMARYThe DNA content of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes during intra-erythrocytic development and during gametogenesis was established by cytophotometric methods. Intra-erythrocytic micro- and macrogametocytes (Stage I-Stage VB) contain about twice the amount of DNA of haploid sporozoites and ringstages, indicating that DNA is synthesized during ...

The three Plasmodium falciparum Aurora-related kinases display distinct temporal and spatial associations with mitotic structures in asexual blood stage parasites and gametocytes

mSphere
Aurora kinases are crucial regulators of mitotic cell cycle progression in eukaryotes. The protozoan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates via schizogony, a specialized mode of cell division characterized by consecutive asynchronous rounds of

Sexual forms obtained in a continuous in vitro cultured Colombian strain of Plasmodium falciparum (FCB2)

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background The epidemiological control of malaria has been hampered by the appearance of parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs and by the resistance of mosquito vectors to control measures.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices of malaria control among communities from the health district of Forécariah in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Malaria is the leading cause of death in children under 5-yr of age in the Republic of Guinea. This study aimed at investigating the knowledge, attitudes and practices of malaria control in urban and rural communities in Guinea ...
