Distinct temporal recruitment of Plasmodium alveolins to the subpellicular network. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The zoite stages of malaria parasites (merozoite, ookinete and sporozoite) possess a distinctive cortical structure termed the pellicle, which is defined by a double membrane layer named the inner membrane complex (IMC).

Glucocorticoid dysfunction in children with severe malaria

open access: yesFrontiers 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 malariae in Haitian refugees, Jamaica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Since 1963, reported malaria transmission in Haiti has been restricted to Plasmodium falciparum. However, screening of Haitian refugees in Jamaica in 2004, by microscopic examination, identified P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae. PCR confirmed the

Morphological features and differential counts of Plasmodium knowlesi parasites in naturally acquired human infections. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Human infections with Plasmodium knowlesi, a simian malaria parasite, are more common than previously thought. They have been detected by molecular detection methods in various countries in Southeast Asia, where they were initially diagnosed ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 falciparum [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging 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

The epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes: weapons of mass dispersion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Much of the epidemiology of Plasmodium falciparum in Sub-Saharan Africa focuses on the prevalence patterns of asexual parasites in people of different ages, whereas the gametocytes that propagate the disease are often neglected.

Proteomic analysis of the Plasmodium male gamete reveals the key role for glycolysis in flagellar motility. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BACKGROUND: Gametogenesis and fertilization play crucial roles in malaria transmission. While male gametes are thought to be amongst the simplest eukaryotic cells and are proven targets of transmission blocking immunity, little is known about their ...
