Spleen Infarction in Plasmodium Infection [PDF]

Liaquat National Journal of Primary Care
Dear Editor, Malaria is a zoonosis causing public health problems, and more than 600,000 deaths yearly mainly younger; splenic infarction or rupture are rarely described [1- 5].

The NTP generating activity of pyruvate kinase II is critical for apicoplast maintenance in Plasmodium falciparum

eLife, 2020
The apicoplast of Plasmodium falciparum parasites is believed to rely on the import of three-carbon phosphate compounds for use in organelle anabolic pathways, in addition to the generation of energy and reducing power within the organelle.

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 ...

Use of Contaminated Habitat and Associated Selenium Uptake Mediate Haemosporidian Parasite Infections in Wild Passerine Birds. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted a community‐scale field study to evaluate whether trace element contaminants derived from coal combustion residuals and nuclear fission products alter the dynamics of haemosporidian blood parasites, dipteran vectors, and avian hosts in riparian and wetland habitats in South Carolina, USA.

Next‐Generation Bio‐Reducible Lipids Enable Enhanced Vaccine Efficacy in Malaria and Primate Models

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Structure–activity relationship (SAR) optimization of bio‐reducible ionizable lipids enables the development of highly effective lipid nanoparticle (LNP) mRNA vaccines. Lead LNPs show superior tolerability and antibody responses in rodents and primates, outperforming approved COVID‐19 vaccine lipids.

PvDBPII elicits multiple antibody-mediated mechanisms that reduce growth in a Plasmodium vivax challenge trial

npj Vaccines
The receptor-binding domain, region II, of the Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBPII) binds the Duffy antigen on the reticulocyte surface to mediate invasion.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals reduced transcriptional activity in the malaria parasite Plasmodium cynomolgi during progression into dormancy

eLife, 2018
Relapses of Plasmodium dormant liver hypnozoites compromise malaria eradication efforts. New radical cure drugs are urgently needed, yet the vast gap in knowledge of hypnozoite biology impedes drug discovery.

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 ...

Cinnamic‐Hydroxamic‐Acid Derivatives Exhibit Antibiotic, Anti‐Biofilm, and Supercoiling Relaxation Properties by Targeting Bacterial Nucleoid‐Associated Protein HU

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cinnamic‐hydroxamic‐acid derivatives (CHADs) are identified as novel inhibitors of the bacterial nucleoid‐associated protein HU, exhibiting potent antibacterial, anti‐biofilm (both inhibition and eradication), and DNA relaxation (anti‐supercoiling) activities. Moreover, CHADs demonstrate strong synergistic effects with multiple antibiotics.

La mitocondria en el género Plasmodium.

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2003
La mitocondria en las células eucarióticas juega un papel central en el metabolismo energético. En Plasmodium, la mitocondria se adapta morfológica y fisiológicamente a las condiciones metabólicas de sus hospederos.
