Nationwide spatiotemporal drug resistance genetic profiling from over three decades in Indian Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax isolates

Malaria Journal, 2023
Background Drug resistance is a serious impediment to efficient control and elimination of malaria in endemic areas. Methods This study aimed at analysing the genetic profile of molecular drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax ...

Advanced Multiplex Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (mLAMP) Combined with Lateral Flow Detection (LFD) for Rapid Detection of Two Prevalent Malaria Species in India and Melting Curve Analysis

Diagnostics, 2021
Isothermal techniques with lateral flow detection have emerged as a point of care (POC) technique for malaria, a major parasitic disease in tropical countries such as India.

Vertical dispersal of Aedes albopictus within multi-story buildings in downtown Shanghai, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Shanghai has numerous high-rise apartment and office buildings, but the effects of these high-rise spaces on the vertical dispersal, oviposition and blood feeding behavior of Aedes albopictus are unknown.

First report of Cryptosporidium viatorum and Cryptosporidium occultus in humans in China, and of the unique novel C. viatorum subtype XVaA3h

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Cryptosporidium is a genus of common intestinal protozoa, members of which cause diarrhea in a wide variety of hosts. Previous studies on Cryptosporidium in China have mainly focused on diarrhea sufferers, children, and immunodeficient ...

Diet quality determines interspecific parasite interactions in host populations [PDF]

, 2014
The widespread occurrence of multiple infections and the often vast range of nutritional resources for their hosts allow that interspecific parasite interactions in natural host populations might be determined by host diet quality. Nevertheless, the role

The prophenoloxidase system and in vitro interaction of Trypanosoma rangeli with Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans haemolymph

, 1991
The presence of the prophenoloxidase (proPO) system in the haemolymph of Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans and the role played by Trypanosoma rangeli in the in vitro activation of proPO were tested. Both R. prolixus and T.

Evolutionary and proximate mechanisms shaping host-parasite interactions : the case of "Daphnia magna" and its natural bacterial parasite "Pasteuria ramosa" [PDF]

, 2011
Host-parasite interactions are composed of a sequence of steps, all necessary for successful infection: parasites need to encounter their hosts, to enter into their bodies, and to proliferate within them. Selection will act on the mechanisms used in each

CRISPR Interference of a Clonally Variant GC-Rich Noncoding RNA Family Leads to General Repression of var Genes in Plasmodium falciparum

mBio, 2020
The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses mutually exclusive expression of the PfEMP1-encoding var gene family to evade the host immune system. Despite progress in the molecular understanding of the default silencing mechanism, the activation

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Biochemical characterization of Plasmodium falciparum parasite specific helicase 1 (PfPSH1)

FEBS Open Bio, 2019
Malaria, a disease caused by infection with parasites of the genus Plasmodium, causes millions of deaths worldwide annually. Of the five Plasmodium species that can infect humans, Plasmodium falciparum causes the most serious parasitic infection.
