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.

First molecular evidence of Hepatocystis infection in non-human primates from Indonesia using fecal DNA: Implications for wildlife surveillance and One Health [PDF]

Veterinary World
Background 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

Anopheline mosquito saliva contains bacteria that are transferred to a mammalian host through blood feeding

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionMalaria transmission occurs when Plasmodium sporozoites are transferred from the salivary glands of anopheline mosquitoes to a human host through the injection of saliva. The need for better understanding, as well as novel modes of inhibiting,

Plasmodium vivax Mimicking Morphologic Features of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Cureus, 2020
Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) is the most common cause of malaria in Pakistan. Several cases of severe malaria due to P.vivax have been reported from Pakistan and India, however morphological characteristics of the parasite have been mainly ignored. We present two cases of P.

The Plasmodium falciparum apicoplast cysteine desulfurase provides sulfur for both iron-sulfur cluster assembly and tRNA modification

eLife, 2023
Iron-sulfur clusters (FeS) are ancient and ubiquitous protein cofactors that play fundamental roles in many aspects of cell biology. These cofactors cannot be scavenged or trafficked within a cell and thus must be synthesized in any subcellular ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
