Scientific Reports, 2023 The hematophagy behavior has evolved independently several times within the Arthropoda phylum. Interestingly, the process of acquiring a blood meal in ticks is considerably distinct from that observed in other blood-feeding arthropods.

Standard Selection Treatments with Sulfadiazine Limit Plasmodium yoelii Host-to-Vector Transmission
mSphere, 2022 Some antimalarial drugs that have lost clinical usefulness have been repurposed for experimental applications. One example is sulfadiazine, an analog of p-aminobenzoic acid (pABA), which inhibits the parasite’s folate synthesis pathway to block DNA ...

Biology of Malaria Transmission [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2016 Understanding transmission biology at an individual level is a key component of intervention strategies that target the spread of malaria parasites from human to mosquito. Gametocytes are specialized sexual stages of the malaria parasite life cycle developed during evolution to achieve crucial steps in transmission.

Malaria Journal, 2022 Background Transmission of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa has become increasingly stratified following decades of malaria control interventions. The extent to which environmental and land cover risk factors for malaria may differ across distinct strata of

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Given the crucial role of climate in malaria transmission, many mechanistic models of malaria represent vector biology and the parasite lifecycle as functions of climate variables in order to accurately capture malaria transmission dynamics.

Spatial Dynamics of Malaria Transmission
PLOS Computational Biology, 2022 Abstract The Ross-Macdonald model has exerted enormous influence over the study of malaria transmission dynamics and control, but it lacked features to describe parasite dispersal, travel, and other important aspects of heterogeneous transmission. Here, we present a patch-based differential equation modeling framework

Border malaria: defining the problem to address the challenge of malaria elimination
Malaria Journal, 2023 Border malaria is frequently cited as an obstacle to malaria elimination and sometimes used as a justification for the failure of elimination. Numerous border or cross-border meetings and elimination initiatives have been convened to address this ...

Malaria Transmission and Fetal Growth [PDF]
BMJ, 1974 In view of the known relation between infection of the maternal circulation of the placenta with Plasmodium falciparum and impaired fetal growth a study was made of the effect on birth weights of a malaria eradication campaign in the British Solomon Islands. Mean birth weights rose substantially within months of starting antimalarial operations.

Geospatial based model for malaria risk prediction in Kilombero valley, South-eastern, Tanzania.
PLoS ONE, 2023 BackgroundMalaria continues to pose a major public health challenge in tropical regions. Despite significant efforts to control malaria in Tanzania, there are still residual transmission cases.
