The Pigment of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
SUMMARY: The pigment of Plasmodium berghei, a recently discovered parasite of a wild rodent, Thamnomys surdaster, in the Belgian Congo, has been isolated from the infected red cells of young rats in which the strain is maintained in the laboratory. It has been shown by chemical and spectroscopical evidence to be haematin.

Behaviour of Plasmodium berghei in some Rodents [PDF]
Plasmodium berghei Vincke and Lips 1948 is the first plasmodium found infective for rats and mice1. Vincke and Lips isolated this parasite from a wild tree-rat Thamnonys and found that it produced a fatal infection in mice and rats.

Plasmodium berghei calcium dependent protein kinase 1 is not required for host cell invasion. [PDF]
Plasmodium Calcium Dependent Protein Kinase (CDPK1) is required for the development of sexual stages in the mosquito. In addition, it is proposed to play an essential role in the parasite's invasive stages possibly through the regulation of the ...

Plasmodium parasite exploits host aquaporin-3 during liver stage malaria infection. [PDF]
Within the liver a single Plasmodium parasite transforms into thousands of blood-infective forms to cause malaria. Here, we use RNA-sequencing to identify host genes that are upregulated upon Plasmodium berghei infection of hepatocytes with the ...

Malacca leaf ethanolic extract (Phyllanthus emblica) as a hepatoprotector of the liver of mice (Mus musculus) infected with Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
Background and Aim: Although existing research confirms the antiparasitic effect of the Malacca plant against Plasmodium, its effect on the liver, one of the target organs of Plasmodium has not been investigated.
