Pathophysiology of Cerebral Malaria: Implications of MSCs as A Regenerative Medicinal Tool

open access: yesBioengineering, 2022
The severe form of malaria, i.e., cerebral malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, is a complex neurological syndrome. Surviving persons have a risk of behavioral difficulties, cognitive disorders, and epilepsy.

Global change, parasite transmission and disease control: lessons from ecology

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in wildlife, livestock and human populations, and healthy ecosystems are often parasite rich. Yet, their negative impacts can be extreme.

Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate

open access: yesScience Advances, 2017
Parasites face range loss and shifts under climate change, with likely parasite extinction rates of up to one in three species. Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction and disease emergence, but the negative impacts of ...

Parasitic plants [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2018
In this quick guide, Twyford introduces the reader to parasitic plants, explaining how they steal nutrients from host plants and how this lifestyle has evolved multiple times in plants.

Malaria parasite clearance

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2017
Following anti-malarial drug treatment asexual malaria parasite killing and clearance appear to be first order processes. Damaged malaria parasites in circulating erythrocytes are removed from the circulation mainly by the spleen.

Evolutionary analysis of the most polymorphic gene family in falciparum malaria [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2019
The var gene family of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum encode proteins that are crucial determinants of both pathogenesis and immune evasion and are highly polymorphic.

CD4+ICOS+Foxp3+: a sub-population of regulatory T cells contribute to malaria pathogenesis

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2022
Background Regulatory T cells are known to play a key role to counter balance the protective immune response and immune mediated pathology. However, the role of naturally occurring regulatory cells CD4+CD25+Foxp3 + in malaria infection during the disease

Detecting parasite associations within multi-species host and parasite communities

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019
Understanding the role of biotic interactions in shaping natural communities is a long-standing challenge in ecology. It is particularly pertinent to parasite communities sharing the same host communities and individuals, as the interactions among ...

Anti-parasite behaviour of birds

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018
Birds have many kinds of internal and external parasites, including viruses, bacteria and fungi, as well as protozoa, helminths and arthropods. Because parasites have negative effects on host fitness, selection favours the evolution of anti-parasite ...

Insecticide resistance of Anopheles sinensis after elimination of malaria in Henan Province, China

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Historically, malaria due to Plasmodium vivax has been epidemic in Henan Province, China, with Anopheles sinensis as the main vector. The most effective measures to prevent malaria transmission are based on vector control through the use of ...
