Rapid antigen detection tests for malaria diagnosis in severely ill Papua New Guinean children: a comparative study using Bayesian latent class models. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Although rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have practical advantages over light microscopy (LM) and good sensitivity in severe falciparum malaria in Africa, their utility where severe non-falciparum malaria occurs is unknown.

An Imported Case of Afebrile Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Infection from Tanzania in a Returning Traveler to the Republic of Korea following an Earlier COVID-19 Infection

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
Malaria is well-known as one of the most common causes of fever among travelers returning from endemic areas such as tropical African countries. However, afebrile Plasmodium falciparum malaria has rarely been reported in a returning traveler with no ...

In silico comparative genomics analysis of Plasmodium falciparum for the identification of putative essential genes and therapeutic candidates.

, 2014
A sequence of computational methods was used for predicting novel drug targets against drug resistant malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Comparative genomics, orthologous protein analysis among same and other malaria parasites and protein-protein ...

Drug resistance mediating Plasmodium falciparum polymorphisms and clinical presentations of parasitaemic children in Uganda. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundPlasmodium falciparum genetic polymorphisms that mediate altered drug sensitivity may impact upon virulence. In a cross-sectional study, Ugandan children with infections mutant at pfcrt K76T, pfmdr1 N86Y, or pfmdr1 D1246Y had about one-fourth ...

H2S Is a Potential Universal Reducing Agent for Prx6‐Type Peroxiredoxins

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We report the identification of H2S as reducing agent for Prx6‐type peroxiredoxins. In contrast to common physiological reducing agents of other peroxiredoxins, HS− is small enough to access the active site of oxidized Prx6‐type enzymes in the fully‐folded protein conformation.

Cellular Hallmarks From Volume Electron Microscopy Reveal Developmental Progression of Plasmodium Ookinetes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article presents a detailed ultrastructural cell atlas of Plasmodium ookinete development using advanced volume electron microscopy (v) techniques. It defines seven distinct developmental stages, revealing complex organelle interactions and offering new insights into parasite differentiation.

Antibody responses to P. falciparum blood stage antigens and incidence of clinical malaria in children living in endemic area in Burkina Faso

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background High parasite-specific antibody levels are generally associated with low susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum malaria. This has been supported by several studies in which clinical malaria cases of P.

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

A well-conserved Plasmodium falciparum var gene shows an unusual stage-specific transcript pattern [PDF]

, 2003
The var multicopy gene family encodes Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) variant antigens, which, through their ability to adhere to a variety of host receptors, are thought to be important virulence factors.
