Emergence of Indigenous Artemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Africa.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2017
The emergence of artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum has threatened the effectiveness of malaria treatment in Southeast Asia. In this report, such resistance has been observed in a patient who was working in Equatorial Guinea.

Nanoparticle‐Based Tetracycline Delivery Systems: Advancing Therapeutic Effectiveness and Tackling Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesParticle &Particle Systems Characterization, EarlyView.
This review explores improved tetracycline (TCN) delivery via polymer‐based nanocarriers to enhance solubility, stability, and targeted release. It also covers stimuli‐responsive systems, triggered by pH, enzymes, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), and co‐delivery approaches that increase therapeutic efficacy in cancer and inflammatory diseases ...

Robot control with biological cells

open access: yes, 2007
At present there exists a large gap in size, performance, adaptability and robustness between natural and artificial information processors for performing coherent perception-action tasks under real-time constraints.

Declining Burden of Plasmodium vivax in a Population in Northwestern Thailand from 1995 to 2016 before Comprehensive Primaquine Prescription for Radical Cure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
All Plasmodium cases have declined over the last decade in northwestern Thailand along the Myanmar border. During this time, Plasmodium vivax has replaced Plasmodium falciparum as the dominant species. The decline in P.

The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Changes in genome organization of parasite-specific gene families during the Plasmodium transmission stages

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The development of malaria parasites throughout their various life cycle stages is coordinated by changes in gene expression. We previously showed that the three-dimensional organization of the Plasmodium falciparum genome is strongly associated with ...

Long‐term impact of exposure to Royal Guard, a pyriproxyfen‐based bed net, on pyrethroid‐resistant malaria vectors from Cameroon using DNA‐based metabolic resistance markers

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2165-2180, April 2025.
We used recently detected P450 DNA‐based markers of pyrethroid resistance in both Anopheles funestus and Anopheles gambiae to demonstrate that although pyrethroid‐resistant mosquitoes have higher ability to survive and live longer after exposure to Royal Guard, this net significantly affects their lifespan, blood feeding ability and interestingly ...

Crystal structure of PfRh5, an essential P. falciparum ligand for invasion of human erythrocytes

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe form of malaria in humans and is responsible for over 700,000 deaths annually. It is an obligate intracellular parasite and invades erythrocytes where it grows in a relatively protected niche.

Haemosporidian parasites (Apicomplexa, Haemosporida) of breeding common starling Sturnus vulgaris in Latvia

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.

A comparative transcriptomic analysis of replicating and dormant liver stages of the relapsing malaria parasite Plasmodium cynomolgi

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Plasmodium liver hypnozoites, which cause disease relapse, are widely considered to be the last barrier towards malaria eradication. The biology of this quiescent form of the parasite is poorly understood which hinders drug discovery.
