The Transcriptome of the Intraerythrocytic Developmental Cycle of Plasmodium falciparum
PLoS Biology, 2003 Plasmodium falciparum is the causative agent of the most burdensome form of human malaria, affecting 200–300 million individuals per year worldwide. The recently sequenced genome of P. falciparum revealed over 5,400 genes, of which 60% encode proteins of

Three-dimensional ultrastructure of Plasmodium falciparum throughout cytokinesis
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 New techniques for obtaining electron microscopy data through the cell volume are being increasingly utilized to answer cell biologic questions. Here, we present a three-dimensional atlas of Plasmodium falciparum ultrastructure throughout parasite cell ...

The Malaria Cell Atlas: Single parasite transcriptomes across the complete Plasmodium life cycle
Science, 2019 Mapping the malaria parasite Several species of the parasite Plasmodium cause human malarial diseases, and, despite determined control efforts, a huge global disease burden remains. Howick et al. present a single-cell analysis of transcription across the

A review on malaria eradication: what hope for Nigeria?
Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016 Malaria and its transmitting vectors are household names. Malaria which helped Africa from the venomous fangs of colonialism has turned to be the bane of development in tropical countries including Nigeria.

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.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...
