Plasmodium species occurrence, temporal distribution and interaction in a child-aged population in rural Burkina Faso

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2013
Background Malaria can be caused by five Plasmodium species. Due to their higher prevalence, much of the research concentrates on Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. In Burkina Faso, where P.

Submicroscopic placental infection by non-falciparum Plasmodium spp. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Among the Plasmodium species that infect humans, adverse effects of P. falciparum and P. vivax have been extensively studied and reported with respect to poor outcomes particularly in first time mothers and in pregnant women living in areas with unstable

Liver function tests among children with moderate acute malnutrition: A secondary analysis of a randomized trial from Burkina Faso

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Hepatic steatosis has been described in children with severe acute malnutrition, but the degree of liver damage in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the development of malnutrition‐associated liver damage by describing liver function tests among children with MAM.

The multifunctional autophagy pathway in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Autophagy is a catabolic pathway typically induced by nutrient starvation to recycle amino acids, but can also function in removing damaged organelles. In addition, this pathway plays a key role in eukaryotic development. To date, not much is known about

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

Indels, structural variation, and recombination drive genomic diversity inPlasmodium falciparum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a great capacity for evolutionary adaptation to evade host immunity and develop drug resistance. Current understanding of parasite evolution is impeded by the fact that a large fraction of the genome is ...

Nanoparticle‐Based Tetracycline Delivery Systems: Advancing Therapeutic Effectiveness and Tackling Antibiotic Resistance

open access: yesParticle &Particle Systems Characterization, EarlyView.
This review explores improved tetracycline (TCN) delivery via polymer‐based nanocarriers to enhance solubility, stability, and targeted release. It also covers stimuli‐responsive systems, triggered by pH, enzymes, or reactive oxygen species (ROS), and co‐delivery approaches that increase therapeutic efficacy in cancer and inflammatory diseases ...

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.
