The spectrum of clinical biomarkers in severe malaria and new avenues for exploration
Virulence, 2022 Globally, malaria is a public health concern, with severe malaria (SM) contributing a major share of the disease burden in malaria endemic countries. In this context, identification and validation of SM biomarkers are essential in clinical practice. Some

Extensive Uncharted Biodiversity: The Parasite Dimension.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2018 Parasites are often hidden in their hosts and exhibit patchy spatial distributions. This makes them relatively difficult to detect and sample. Consequently we have poor knowledge of parasite diversities, distributions, and extinction.

mBio, 2017 Plasmodium falciparum relies on monoallelic expression of 1 of 60 var virulence genes for antigenic variation and host immune evasion. Each var gene contains a conserved intron which has been implicated in previous studies in both activation and ...

Salivary glands harbor more diverse microbial communities than gut in Anopheles culicifacies
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background In recent years, it has been well documented that gut flora not only influence mosquito physiology, but also significantly alter vector competency.

Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Human landing catch (HLC) is the most efficient method for Aedes monitoring, but it is not ethical due to its high risk of human exposure to pathogens. We designed trials to assess the performance of an alternative human-baited double net trap

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Plasmodium falciparum Rosette Formation Assay
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Rosetting, i.e. the capacity of red blood cells (iRBCs) infected with mature parasite stages to bind two or more uninfected red blood cells (RBCs) is a virulence factor of Plasmodium falciparum.
