Suppression of experimental cerebral malaria by disruption of malate:quinone oxidoreductase
Background Aspartate, which is converted from oxaloacetate (OAA) by aspartate aminotransferase, is considered an important precursor for purine salvage and pyrimidine de novo biosynthesis, and is thus indispensable for the growth of Plasmodium parasites ...

Uji Aktivitas Antimalaria dari Spons Xestospongia sp. Asal Pulau Yapen secara In Vivo
It is generally admitted that marine sponge has rich of secondary metabolite as alkaloids, peptides and terpene. Those various compounds can be used for antimalarial drug. This study aims to evaluate the in vivo antimalarial activity and to characterize

Genome wide analysis of inbred mouse lines identifies a locus containing Ppar-γ as contributing to enhanced malaria surviva [PDF]
The genetic background of a patient determines in part if a person develops a mild form of malaria and recovers, or develops a severe form and dies. We have used a mouse model to detect genes involved in the resistance or susceptibility to Plasmodium ...

Three Members of the 6-cys Protein Family of Plasmodium Play a Role in Gamete Fertility [PDF]
The process of fertilization is critically dependent on the mutual recognition of gametes and in Plasmodium, the male gamete surface protein P48/45 is vital to this process.

Extract of Morinda lucida leaf rescues hypoglycaemic and dyslipidaemic conditions in Plasmodium berghei-infected mice [PDF]
Increasing drug resistance is a great threat to malaria control. Therefore, a continuous investigation into alternative therapy to mitigate malaria-associated damages is important.

Transition of plasmodium sporozoites into liver stage-like forms is regulated by the RNA binding protein pumilio [PDF]
Many eukaryotic developmental and cell fate decisions that are effected post-transcriptionally involve RNA binding proteins as regulators of translation of key mRNAs.

Sex ratios in the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi [PDF]
The sex ratios of malaria and related Apicomplexan parasites play a major role in transmission success. Here, we address 2 fundamental issues in the sex ratios of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi.

Proteomic profiling of Plasmodium sporozoite maturation identifies new proteins essential for parasite development and infectivity [PDF]
<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> sporozoites that develop and mature inside an <i>Anopheles</i> mosquito initiate a malaria infection in humans.
