Morphogenesis of Plasmodium zoites is uncoupled from tensile strength. [PDF]
, 2013 A shared feature of the motile stages (zoites) of malaria parasites is a cortical cytoskeletal structure termed subpellicular network (SPN), thought to define and maintain cell shape.

Infection and co-infection with helminths and Plasmodium among school children in Côte d'Ivoire : results from a National Cross-Sectional Survey [PDF]
, 2014 Helminth infection and malaria remain major causes of ill-health in the tropics and subtropics. There are several shared risk factors (e.g., poverty), and hence, helminth infection and malaria overlap geographically and temporally.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.

First molecular evidence of Hepatocystis infection in non-human primates from Indonesia using fecal DNA: Implications for wildlife surveillance and One Health [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Hepatocystis, a malaria-like hemoparasite closely related to Plasmodium, infects non-human primates (NHPs), bats, and other mammals, yet remains understudied in Indonesia. Although Plasmodium detection in primates has been extensively
