Activation of human natural killer cells by Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

, 2003
The purpose of work described in this thesis was to (i) determine the contribution of innate immune responses to the early pro-inflammatory cytokine response to Plasmodium falciparum, (ii) describe the kinetics and ...

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Epidemic of Plasmodium falciparum malaria involving substandard antimalarial drugs, Pakistan, 2003. [PDF]

, 2009
Because of instability in eastern Afghanistan, new refugees crossed into the federally administered tribal areas of northwestern Pakistan in 2002. In 2003, we investigated an epidemic of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in 1 of the camps.

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activator Receptor γ: A Link between Macrophage CD36 and Inflammation in Malaria Infection

PPAR Research, 2012
Severe malaria infection caused by Plasmodium falciparum is a global life-threatening disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. Intensive investigations have demonstrated that macrophages play crucial roles in control of inflammatory and immune ...

A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Evidence of non-neutral polymorphism in Plasmodium falciparum gamete surface protein genes Pfs47 and Pfs48/45.

, 2007
Targeted disruption of particular members of the Plasmodium 6-cys protein gene family, including Ps47, Ps48/45 and Ps230, is known to dramatically affect parasite fertility.

Plasmodium falciparum antigens on the surface of the gametocyte-infected erythrocyte. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: The asexual blood stages of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum produce highly immunogenic polymorphic antigens that are expressed on the surface of the host cell.

Identification of conserved cross-species B-cell linear epitopes in human malaria: a subtractive proteomics and immuno-informatics approach targeting merozoite stage proteins

Frontiers in Immunology
Human malaria, caused by five Plasmodium species (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P. knowlesi), remains a significant global health burden. While most interventions target P.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Strong Cross‐Reactivity of Anti–Plasmodium falciparum pLDH Monoclonal Antibodies With Plasmodium malariae pLDH in the Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f/P.f/P.v Rapid Diagnostic Test

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study aimed to describe the cross‐reactivity of the Abbott Bioline Malaria Ag P.f/P.f/P.v rapid diagnostic test, designed to detect Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, with other Plasmodium species, based on the detection of parasite lactate dehydrogenase enzymes.
