Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]

, 2014
Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

Modifications at K31 on the lateral surface of histone H4 contribute to genome structure and expression in apicomplexan parasites

eLife, 2017
An unusual genome architecture characterizes the two related human parasitic pathogens Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii. A major fraction of the bulk parasite genome is packaged as transcriptionally permissive euchromatin with few loci ...

Parasite zoonoses and wildlife: emerging issues [PDF]

, 2009
The role of wildlife as important sources, reservoirs and amplifiers of emerging human and domestic livestock pathogens, in addition to well recognized zoonoses of public health significance, has gained considerable attention in recent years.

A research agenda for malaria eradication: basic science and enabling technologies. [PDF]

, 2011
Today's malaria control efforts are limited by our incomplete understanding of the biology of Plasmodium and of the complex relationships between human populations and the multiple species of mosquito and parasite.

In vitro flubendazole-induced damage to vital tissues in adult females of the filarial nematode Brugia malayi

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2015
The use of a microfilaricidal drug for the control of onchocerciasis and lymphatic filariasis necessitates prolonged yearly dosing. Prospects for elimination or eradication of these diseases would be enhanced by availability of a macrofilaricidal drug ...

Cytological and molecular description of Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov., a microsporidian parasite of Daphnia magna, and establishment of Hamiltosporidium magnivora comb. nov. [PDF]

, 2010
We describe the new microsporidium Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov. with an emphasis on its ultrastructural characteristics and phylogenetic position as inferred from the sequence data of SSU rDNA, alpha-and beta-tubulin.

Parasite Microbiome Project: Systematic Investigation of Microbiome Dynamics within and across Parasite-Host Interactions [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding how microbiomes affect host resistance, parasite virulence, and parasite-associated diseases requires a collaborative effort between parasitologists, microbial ecologists, virologists, and immunologists.

Host-parasite interactions and the evolution of immune defense

, 2013
Parasites and pathogens are ubiquitous and act as an important selection pressure on animals. Here, drawing primarily on our own research, mostly on insects, we illustrate how host-parasite interactions have played a role in the evolution of a range of ...

Host-parasite fluctuating selection in the absence of specificity [PDF]

, 2017
Fluctuating selection driven by coevolution between hosts and parasites is important for the generation of host and parasite diversity across space and time.
