Rapid and Specific Action of Methylene Blue against Plasmodium Transmission Stages
Pharmaceutics, 2022 Methylene blue (MB) is the oldest synthetic anti-infective. Its high potency against asexual and sexual stages of malaria parasites is well documented.

Cortisone and Plasmodium berghei Infection in Mice [PDF]
Nature, 1952 THERE is considerable clinical evidence to show that in persons infected with malaria various stimuli may precipitate an acute attack. These stimuli include surgical operations, the injection of vaccines, exposure to cold, and possibly, for persons who have not become acclimatized, ascent to high altitudes.

Generation of transgenic rodent malaria parasites by transfection of cell culture-derived merozoites
Malaria Journal, 2017 Background Malaria research is greatly dependent on and has drastically advanced with the possibility of genetically modifying Plasmodium parasites. The commonly used transfection protocol by Janse and colleagues utilizes blood stage-derived Plasmodium ...

Genetic recombination in Plasmodium berghei
Parasitology, 1973 Crosses have been made between two lines of Plasmodium berghei yoelii differing in drug-sensitivity and enzyme-type. The two lines used were line A, which is pyrimethamine-resistant and contains an electrophoretic form of glucose phosphate isomerase termed GPI-1, and line C, which is pyrimethamine-sensitive and contains enzyme-form GPI-2. Equal numbers

The Plasmodium falciparum, Nima-related kinase Pfnek-4: a marker for asexual parasites committed to sexual differentiation [PDF]
, 2012 <b>Background</b> Malaria parasites undergo, in the vertebrate host, a developmental switch from asexual replication to sexual differentiation leading to the formation of gametocytes, the only form able to survive in the mosquito vector ...

Chromosome translocation inPlasmodium berghei
Nucleic Acids Research, 1992 We describe a chromosome translocation in a karyotype mutant of the rodent malarial parasite Plasmodium berghei. In this mutant (named EP) a small chromosome (chromosome 7), which has exhibited a size range between 0.9 and 1.4 Mb in other clones of P. berghei, is translocated to chromosome 13 or 14 with a size of about 3 Mb.

Natural regulatory (CD4+CD25+FOXP+) T cells control the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines during Plasmodium chabaudi adami infection and do not contribute to immune evasion. [PDF]
, 2008 Different functions have been attributed to natural regulatory CD4+CD25+FOXP+ (Treg) cells during malaria infection. Herein, we assessed the role for Treg cells during infections with lethal (DS) and non-lethal (DK) Plasmodium chabaudi adami parasites ...
