Comparative 3D ultrastructure of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes
Nature CommunicationsAbstractDespite the enormous significance of malaria parasites for global health, some basic features of their ultrastructure remain obscure. Here, we apply high-resolution volumetric electron microscopy to examine and compare the ultrastructure of the transmissible male and female sexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum as well as the more ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes: their longevity and infectivity
Parasitology, 1977 The longevity and infectivity of isolated populations of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes were studied. Following chloroquine treatment gametocyte numbers fell with a constant rate of loss over a period of 16–24days; the populations had a half-life of 2·4 days. The sex ratio stayed constant throughout at 4 female:1 male.

Gametocytes, sporozoites and liver schizonts.
South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1974 Plasmodium falciparum differs from other human species of Plasmodium in the short, limited exo-erythrocytic stage in the life cycle, which is an apparent disadvantage in surviving through a prolonged non-transmission season such as occurs throughout much of tropical Africa.

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 ...

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 BackgroundPrimaquine (PQ) is the only currently licensed antimalarial that prevents Plasmodium vivax (Pv) relapses. It also clears mature P. falciparum (Pf) gametocytes, thereby reducing post-treatment transmission. Randomized PQ treatment in a treatment-

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.
