The effects of dyslipidaemia and cholesterol modulation on erythrocyte susceptibility to malaria parasite infection

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background Malaria disease commences when blood-stage parasites, called merozoites, invade human erythrocytes. Whilst the process of invasion is traditionally seen as being entirely merozoite-driven, emerging data suggests erythrocyte biophysical ...

Babesia bigemina: Isolation and Characterization of Merozoite Rhoptries

Experimental Parasitology, 1993
Babesia bigemina apical membrane polypeptide p58, encoded by a multigene family with homologues in other Babesia spp. and sequence similarity to rhoptry proteins in other apicomplexan parasites, was identified within merozoite rhoptries using immunoelectron microscopy. To identify additional B.

Application of optical tweezer technology reveals that PfEBA and PfRH ligands, not PfMSP1, play a central role in Plasmodium falciparum merozoite-erythrocyte attachment.

PLoS Pathogens
Malaria pathogenesis and parasite multiplication depend on the ability of Plasmodium merozoites to invade human erythrocytes. Invasion is a complex multi-step process involving multiple parasite proteins which can differ between species and has been most

Basigin mediation of  Plasmodium falciparum red blood cell invasion does not require its transmembrane domain or interaction with monocarboxylate transporter 1.

PLoS Pathogens
Plasmodium falciparum invasion of the red blood cell is reliant upon the essential interaction of PfRh5 with the host receptor protein basigin. Basigin exists as part of one or more multiprotein complexes, most notably through interaction with the ...

Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 genetic polymorphism and multiplicity of infection in selected malarious areas of Northwest Ethiopia

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum provides the parasite with many effective immune evasion and drug resistance mechanisms. This phenomenon is a major problem in eradicating malaria globally.
