Synchronous culture of Plasmodium falciparum at high parasitemia levels

open access: yesNature Protocols, 2009
This protocol describes a method for preparing cultures of Plasmodium falciparum synchronized at any intraerythrocytic stage. Using this method, around 60% parasitized cells may be obtained. On the basis of Trager and Jensen's original continuous culture method, our approach relies on the use of fresh human blood not older than 2 weeks, a low ...

Two avian Plasmodium species trigger different transcriptional responses on their vector Culex pipiens

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 15, August 2025.
Abstract Malaria is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by protozoans of the genus Plasmodium that affects both humans and wildlife. The fitness consequences of infections by avian malaria are well known in birds, however, little information exists on its impact on mosquitoes.

Lycopene Mitigates Malaria‐Induced Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species and Oxidative Damage in Mice Brain and Lungs

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The severity of malaria is associated with low antioxidant availability and elevated free radical production, which induces oxidative damage in cerebral and pulmonary microcirculation. This can be mitigated by dietary antioxidants. We investigated the protective effects of lycopene (LYC) against oxidative changes induced by Plasmodium berghei (

IL‐12 and IFN‐γ in Response to Leishmania Infantum Antigens in Felines From an Endemic Area for Visceral Leishmaniasis

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis is a potentially fatal zoonosis with an increasing incidence. Most infected felines present the disease in its subclinical form and demonstrate greater resistance to parasitemia than dogs. However, the role of cellular immunity in felines is still poorly understood. This study measured serum levels of interleukin (IL)‐12
