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.

Nucleic Acids Research, 2006 The use of selenocysteine (Sec) as the 21st amino acid in the genetic code has been described in all three major domains of life. However, within eukaryotes, selenoproteins are only known in animals and algae. In this study, we characterized selenoproteomes and Sec insertion systems in protozoan Apicomplexa parasites.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Anti-Plasmodium falciparum Activity of a New Copper(II) Complex Containing 2-(Tert-Butoxy)-6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)pyridine. [PDF]
ChemMedChemThe graphical abstract illustrates the formation of a Cu(II) complex from azole‐based ligand, highlighting metal–ligand synergy. The resulting coordination compound acts as a bioactive entity against Plasmodium, where metal coordination enhances antiparasitic activity, outperforming the free ligand and demonstrating its potential as an antimalarial ...

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.

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-
