Construction of a Plasmodium falciparum Rab-interactome identifies CK1 and PKA as Rab-effector kinases in malaria parasites [PDF]
Background information The pathology causing stages of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum reside within red blood cells that are devoid of any regulated transport system.

Plasmodium falciparum is the etiological agent of malaria tropica, the leading cause of death due to a vector-borne infectious disease, claiming 0.5 million lives every year. The single-cell eukaryote undergoes a complex life cycle and is an obligate intracellular parasite of hepatocytes (clinically silent) and erythrocytes (disease causing).

The highly A+T rich genomes of human and rodent malarial parasites offer unprecedented glimpses of a lineage that is distinct from other model organisms. Plasmodium is distinguished by the presence of numerous low complexity inserts within globular domains of proteins. It displays several peculiarities in its transcription apparatus, and its DNA repair

Human Infections with Plasmodium knowlesi, the Philippines. [PDF]
Five human cases of infection with the simian malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi from Palawan, the Philippines, were confirmed by nested PCR. This study suggests that this zoonotic infection is found across a relatively wide area in Palawan and ...

The Malaria Cell Atlas: Single parasite transcriptomes across the complete Plasmodium life cycle
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

Evolutionary history of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium simium in the Americas
AbstractMalaria is a vector-borne disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human-infecting species in the Americas. However, the origins of this parasite in this continent are still debated. Similarly, it is now accepted that the existence of Plasmodium simium is explained by a P.

The Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria, is an excellent model for immunomic-based approaches to vaccine development. The Plasmodium parasite has a complex life cycle with multiple stages and stage-specific expression of ∼5300 putative proteins. No malaria vaccine has yet been licensed.
