Glycobiology of Plasmodium falciparum

Biochimie, 2001
The human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has as its only glycoconjugate GPI anchors. These structures, present in essentially all parasite surface proteins, are associated with disease pathology. In contrast, the parasite depends for essential recognition events on saccharides associated with host cell glycoproteins and proteoglycans.

Transfection of Plasmodium falciparum

2012
Genetic manipulation of Plasmodium falciparum remains very challenging, mainly due to the parasite genome's high A/T-richness and low transfection efficiency. This chapter includes methods for generating transient and stable transfections by electroporation, allelic replacement with tagged genes, gene deletion, and the analysis of all the above.

The periodicity of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum in Venezuela

Acta Tropica, 2014
We investigated the periodicity of Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum incidence in time-series of malaria data (1990-2010) from three endemic regions in Venezuela. In particular, we determined whether disease epidemics were related to local climate variability and regional climate anomalies such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Plasmodium falciparum: Attenuation by irradiation

Experimental Parasitology, 1983
The effect of irradiation on the in vitro growth of Plasmodium falciparum was investigated. The cultured malarial parasites at selected stages of development were exposed to gamma rays and the sensitivity of each stage was determined. The stages most sensitive to irradiation were the ring forms and the early trophozoites; late trophozoites were ...

Mating Patterns of Plasmodium falciparum

Parasitology Today, 1998
Recent empirical data have enabled a more informed debate over the extent of clonality in Plasmodium falciparum populations. Oocyst heterozygosity data reveal that the mating structure of malaria populations varies according to the transmission intensity.

Intraspecific Variation in Plasmodium Falciparum

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1974
Abstract Significant structural differences are observed between the chloroquine-resistant Vietnam (Smith) strain and the chloroquine-sensitive Malaya (Camp-Sadun) strain of Plasmodium falciparum. The Vietnam strain shows subpellicular microtubules in the gametocyte, granular aggregates of the nucleus and enlargement of food vacuoles in the gametocyte ...
