Avian malaria co-infections confound infectivity and vector competence assays of Plasmodium homopolare. [PDF]
, 2018 Currently, there are very few studies of avian malaria that investigate relationships among the host-vector-parasite triad concomitantly. In the current study, we experimentally measured the vector competence of several Culex mosquitoes for a newly ...

Plasmodium-Host-Plasmodium interactions [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2010 Plasmodium passage through the skin followed by infection of liver hepatocytes and, later, of blood erythrocytes are natural and sequential steps of Plasmodium life cycle in the mammalian host and should not be seen as independent entities. Importantly, in regions of high malaria transmission, infected individuals are constantly exposed to potential re-

Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution [PDF]
, 2018 Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P.

Trends in Parasitology, 2019 Plasmodium falciparum is the etiological agent of malaria tropica, the leading cause of death due to a vector-borne infectious disease, claiming 0.5 million lives every year. The single-cell eukaryote undergoes a complex life cycle and is an obligate intracellular parasite of hepatocytes (clinically silent) and erythrocytes (disease causing).

International Journal for Parasitology, 2011 The Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria, is an excellent model for immunomic-based approaches to vaccine development. The Plasmodium parasite has a complex life cycle with multiple stages and stage-specific expression of ∼5300 putative proteins. No malaria vaccine has yet been licensed.

BCKDH: the missing link in apicomplexan mitochondrial metabolism is required for full virulence of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
, 2014 While the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are thought to primarily depend on glycolysis for ATP synthesis, recent studies have shown that they can fully catabolize glucose in a canonical TCA cycle.
