PNAS plus: plasmodium falciparum responds to amino acid starvation by entering into a hibernatory state [PDF]

, 2012
The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is auxotrophic for most amino acids. Its amino acid needs are met largely through the degradation of host erythrocyte hemoglobin; however the parasite must acquire isoleucine exogenously, because this ...

Anemia of Persistent Malarial Parasitemia in Nigerian Children [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, 2001
One hundred children aged 0-60 months, 63 males and 47 females, were studied prospectively over a period of 9 months to determine the effect of persistent malaria parasitemia on their packed cell volume (PCV) levels. Thick and thin blood films for parasite identification and counts were done.

The malaria parasite cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase plays a central role in blood-stage schizogony [PDF]

, 2010
A role for the Plasmodium falciparum cyclic GMP (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PfPKG) in gametogenesis in the malaria parasite was elucidated previously. In the present study we examined the role of PfPKG in the asexual blood-stage of the parasite life

A validation study of microscopy versus quantitative PCR for measuring Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2019
Microscopy and 18S qPCR are the most common and field-friendly methods for quantifying malaria parasite density, and it is important that these methods can be interpreted as giving equivalent results.

Natural regulatory (CD4+CD25+FOXP+) T cells control the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines during Plasmodium chabaudi adami infection and do not contribute to immune evasion. [PDF]

, 2008
Different functions have been attributed to natural regulatory CD4+CD25+FOXP+ (Treg) cells during malaria infection. Herein, we assessed the role for Treg cells during infections with lethal (DS) and non-lethal (DK) Plasmodium chabaudi adami parasites ...
