Compensating P. falciparum artemisinin resistance [PDF]
Amino acid deprivation from reduced hemoglobin degradation in Pfkelch13 artemisinin-resistant parasites reduces fitness. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Mesén-Ramírez et al. decipher the role of nutrient permeable channel activity within the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane to compensate for this fitness cost in asexual blood-stage Plasmodium ...

P. falciparum Invasion and Erythrocyte Aging. [PDF]
Plasmodium parasites need to find red blood cells (RBCs) that, on the one hand, expose receptors for the pathogen ligands and, on the other hand, maintain the right geometry to facilitate merozoite attachment and entry into the red blood cell. Both characteristics change with the maturation of erythrocytes. Some Plasmodia prefer younger vs.

Interactions and potential implications of Plasmodium falciparum-hookworm coinfection in different age groups in south-central Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Given the widespread distribution of Plasmodium and helminth infections, and similarities of ecological requirements for disease transmission, coinfection is a common phenomenon in sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere in the tropics. Interactions

MOLECULAR-GENETIC MECHANISMS OF PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM VIRULENCE AND TROPICAL MALARIA PATHOGENESIS
There is introduced the analysis of molecular-genetic mechanisms of tropical malaria pathogenesis and P. falciparum virulence. It is shown, that pathogenesis of tropical malaria is associated with the properties of red blood cells membrane surface (RBCs ...

Spatial mapping and prediction of Plasmodium falciparum infection risk among school-aged children in Côte d'Ivoire [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In Côte d'Ivoire, malaria remains a major public health issue, and thus a priority to be tackled. The aim of this study was to identify spatially explicit indicators of Plasmodium falciparum infection among school-aged children and to ...
