Let it glow: genetically encoded fluorescent reporters in Plasmodium

Malaria Journal
The use of fluorescent proteins (FPs) in Plasmodium parasites has been key to understand the biology of this obligate intracellular protozoon. FPs like the green fluorescent protein (GFP) enabled to explore protein localization, promoter activity as well

Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]

, 2005
In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...

The tripartite interactions between the mosquito, its microbiota and Plasmodium

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
The microbiota of Anopheles mosquitoes interferes with mosquito infection by Plasmodium and influences mosquito fitness, therefore affecting vectorial capacity.

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

Mosquito co-infection with Zika and chikungunya virus allows simultaneous transmission without affecting vector competence of Aedes aegypti

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
Background Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are highly pathogenic arthropod-borne viruses that are currently a serious health burden in the Americas, and elsewhere in the world.

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Reanalysis of cluster randomised trial data to account for exposure misclassification using a per-protocol and complier-restricted approach

Scientific Reports
The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis of the Applying Wolbachia to Eliminate Dengue (AWED) trial estimated a protective efficacy of 77.1% for participants resident in areas randomised to receive releases of wMel-infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, an ...

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) and mosquito-borne diseases in Mali, West Africa

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Mosquito-borne diseases cause major human diseases in almost every part of the world. In West Africa, and notably in Mali, vector control measures help reduce the impact of mosquito-borne diseases, although malaria remains a threat to both morbidity and ...

Synthesis and In Vitro Activity of Hypofuran B and Analogs Against Plasmodium Falciparum and Trypanosoma Cruzi

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Hypofuran B, drynaran, and a series of analogs are obtined by crossed aldol condensation from furfural dereivatives. Compunds are tested for in vitro activity agaisnt Trypanosoma cruzi and Plasmodium falciparum. Best results are obtained Against P. falciparum, with IC50 values ranging from 5,35 to 10,35 µg mL−1.
