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.

Glucocorticoid dysfunction in children with severe malaria
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 IntroductionMalaria remains a widespread health problem with a huge burden. Severe or complicated malaria is highly lethal and encompasses a variety of pathological processes, including immune activation, inflammation, and dysmetabolism.

Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2017 Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite that causes the most severe form of human malaria. Five other Plasmodium species can also infect humans — P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale curtisi, P. ovale wallikeri and P. knowlesi — but P. falciparum is the most prevalent Plasmodium species in the African region, where 90% of all malaria occurs, and it is

A Study on the Effect of N-Acetylcysteine on Acute Kidney Injury due to Falciparum Malaria [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021 Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs most commonly in Plasmodium falciparum infection. Next to cerebral malaria and anaemia, AKI is the third most common complication of falciparum malaria.

A microsporidian impairs Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes
Nature Communications, 2020 A possible malaria control approach involves the dissemination in mosquitoes of inherited symbiotic microbes to block Plasmodium transmission. However, in the Anopheles gambiae complex, the primary African vectors of malaria, there are limited reports of

Plasmodium Vivax Infection Impersonating Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria
The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2014 A 73-year-old woman came to the casualty ward with symptoms of syncopal attacks, weakness, fever with chills and rigors. A provisional diagnosis of Plasmodium vivax malaria was made after the blood investigations. She had deranged renal function tests, altered sensorium and low platelet count. Repeated tests for P. falciparum (Card test) were negative.
