Plasmodium asexual growth and sexual development in the haematopoietic niche of the host
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 Plasmodium spp. parasites are the causative agents of malaria in humans and animals, and they are exceptionally diverse in their morphology and life cycles. They grow and develop in a wide range of host environments, both within blood-feeding mosquitoes,

Plasmodium telomere maintenance: uncovering the Achilles’ heel for novel antimalarials [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyThis review examines the potential of disrupting telomere maintenance in Plasmodium as a novel antimalarial strategy. Telomeres are repetitive DNA–protein structures located at chromosome termini, where they preserve genome stability and protect against ...

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium cynomolgi [PDF]
Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2016 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of different species of Plasmodium were aligned and analyzed to determine the molecular diversity among different species of Plasmodium. AT content of P. cynomolgi, P. ovale, P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae ranged from 62.30 to 63.15, 63.90 to 65.29, 66.67 to 68.40, 61.66 to 63.25 and 64.09 to 76.36 in case ...

Limitations of microscopy to differentiate Plasmodium species in a region co-endemic for Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2013 In areas co-endemic for multiple Plasmodium species, correct diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and surveillance. Species misidentification by microscopy has been reported in areas co-endemic for vivax and falciparum malaria, and may be more frequent in regions where Plasmodium knowlesi also commonly occurs.This prospective study in Sabah ...
