Distribution and prevalence of malaria parasites among long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) in regional populations across Southeast Asia. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundPlasmodium knowlesi and Plasmodium cynomolgi are two malaria parasites naturally transmissible between humans and wild macaque through mosquito vectors, while Plasmodium inui can be experimentally transmitted from macaques to humans.

Plasmodium comparative genomics [PDF]
Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2019 Malaria is a serious infectious disease caused by unicellular eukaryotic parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Today more than 200 species exist [1], and whole-genome sequence data is available for around 22 species [2]. At least five different Plasmodium species can infect humans, of which Plasmodium falciparum is the major cause of morbidity and ...

Towards Physarum Binary Adders [PDF]
, 2010 Plasmodium of \emph{Physarum polycephalum} is a single cell visible by unaided eye. The plasmodium's foraging behaviour is interpreted in terms of computation. Input data is a configuration of nutrients, result of computation is a network of plasmodium's

Tackling resistance: Emerging antimalarials and new parasite targets in the era of elimination [version 1; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]
, 2018 Malaria remains a significant contributor to global human mortality, and roughly half the world’s population is at risk for infection with Plasmodium spp. parasites.

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.AZD0156, an ATM kinase inhibitor in clinical development, shows promising multistage antiplasmodial activity by targeting Plasmodium falciparum phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase (PfPI4Kβ). With an improved specificity profile relative to other PfPI4Kβ inhibitors and moderate efficacy in a P.

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 ...

Identification of Protein Markers in Patients Infected with Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2014 Malaria is caused by parasitic protozoans of the genus Plasmodium and is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases in tropical and subtropical regions. For this reason, effective and practical diagnostic methods are urgently needed to control the spread of malaria.

Evolutionary history of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in the Americas
Malaria Journal, 2022 AbstractMalaria is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human-infecting species in the Americas. However, the origins of this parasite in this continent are still debated. Similarly, it is now accepted that the existence of Plasmodium simium is explained by a P.

Frequent expansion of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein in Ethiopia and its epidemiological significance. [PDF]
, 2019 Plasmodium vivax invasion of human erythrocytes depends on the Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) which interacts with the Duffy antigen. PvDBP copy number has been recently shown to vary between P. vivax isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the extent of

Cell, 2003 The highly A+T rich genomes of human and rodent malarial parasites offer unprecedented glimpses of a lineage that is distinct from other model organisms. Plasmodium is distinguished by the presence of numerous low complexity inserts within globular domains of proteins. It displays several peculiarities in its transcription apparatus, and its DNA repair
