Spatiotemporal and functional characterisation of the Plasmodium falciparum cGMP-dependent protein kinase. [PDF]
Signalling by 3'-5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) exists in virtually all eukaryotes. In the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium, the cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) has previously been reported to play a critical role in four key stages of the ...

Erythroferrone contributes to hepcidin repression in a mouse model of malarial anemia
Malaria, a major global health challenge worldwide, is accompanied by a severe anemia secondary to hemolysis and increased erythrophagocytosis. Iron is an essential functional component of erythrocyte hemoglobin and its availability is controlled by the ...

Quantitative electroencephalographic measures during postmalarial epileptogenesis
Abstract Objective Severe malaria with neurologic involvement contributes significantly to the global burden of acquired pediatric epilepsy. We studied quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) measures in postmalarial epileptogenesis. Methods A total of 186 patients, aged 6 months to 11 years, with confirmed central nervous system malaria were ...

Chromosome translocation inPlasmodium berghei
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.

ABSTRACT Curcumin (CUR) is a bioactive compound with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anticancer properties, though its clinical use is limited by low bioavailability, rapid metabolism, and poor solubility. To address these challenges, our study investigates nanoencapsulated curcumin (NC‐CUR) to enhance its pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy,

Plasmodium falciparum liver stage antigen-1 is cross-linked by tissue transglutaminase [PDF]
Background Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites injected by mosquitoes into the blood rapidly enter liver hepatocytes and undergo pre-erythrocytic developmental schizogony forming tens of thousands of merozoites per hepatocyte.

VAMP3 vesicles support host protein recruitment and Plasmodium liver stage development
Plasmodium remodels the host liver cell as an obligatory step in malaria infection. Although several host proteins are recruited to the parasitophorous vacuole membrane (PVM) after invasion, the mechanisms underlying this acquisition remain unknown. Here,

MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PBMSP-1 GENE IN ERYTHROCYTE OF MICE INFECTED WITH Plasmodium berghei
This study aimed to analyze MSP-1 gene in mice erythrocyte infected with Plasmodium berghei using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The result showed the existence of 462 bp DNA band which was assumed to encode MSP-1 protein with molecular weight of 19 ...

Immunological Interactions Between Gammadelta T Cells and West Nile Virus in the Infected Host
ABSTRACT Between mosquitoes and birds, West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus, an arthropod‐borne pathogen involved in an enzootic cycle. Additionally, it can infect both people and horses, leading to severe illness. Since 1999, WNV has spread across North and South America, including Mexico and the Caribbean.

Gene disruption of Plasmodium falciparum p52 results in attenuation of malaria liver stage development in cultured primary human hepatocytes [PDF]
Difficulties with inducing sterile and long lasting protective immunity against malaria with subunit vaccines has renewed interest in vaccinations with attenuated <i>Plasmodium</i> parasites.
