Microstructured blood vessel surrogates reveal structural tropism of motile malaria parasites [PDF]
, 2017 Plasmodium sporozoites, the highly motile forms of the malaria parasite, are transmitted naturally by mosquitoes and traverse the skin to find, associate with, and enter blood capillaries.

Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

First molecular evidence of Hepatocystis infection in non-human primates from Indonesia using fecal DNA: Implications for wildlife surveillance and One Health [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Hepatocystis, a malaria-like hemoparasite closely related to Plasmodium, infects non-human primates (NHPs), bats, and other mammals, yet remains understudied in Indonesia. Although Plasmodium detection in primates has been extensively

Allergy, EarlyView.Graphical The crystal structure of a major peanut allergen Ara h 2.0201 in a complex with a human‐derived IgE Fab fragment has been determined. The immunocomplex shows the trivalent binding of Fabs, creating a cross‐linked structure effective in the formation of large complexes on the surface of effector cells. Hydroxylation of proline has implications

RTS,S/AS01 vaccine (Mosquirix™): an overview
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 Malaria is an illness caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. Of the five species that infect humans, P. falciparum exacts the highest toll in terms of human morbidity and mortality, and therefore represents a major ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Assessing Risk Thresholds in Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM)
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) are a type of clinical trial involving deliberately exposing human volunteers to an infectious agent. Compared to studies of natural infection, CHIMs offers distinctive benefits, from the ability to study presymptomatic infection to a direct assessment of the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics in a ...

Plasmodium’s Sticky Fingers [PDF]
Cell, 2005 The life cycle of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) is remarkably complex. Malaria parasites must engage in highly specific and varied interactions with cell types of both the mammalian host and the mosquito vector. In this issue of Cell, report detailed molecular insights into an intimate interaction between a malaria parasite protein and its host ...
