Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2017 Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite that causes the most severe form of human malaria. Five other Plasmodium species can also infect humans — P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale curtisi, P. ovale wallikeri and P. knowlesi — but P. falciparum is the most prevalent Plasmodium species in the African region, where 90% of all malaria occurs, and it is

Plasmodium falciparum resistant to artemisinin and diagnostics have emerged in Ethiopia
Nature Microbiology, 2023 Diagnosis and treatment of Plasmodium falciparum infections are required for effective malaria control and are pre-requisites for malaria elimination efforts; hence we need to monitor emergence, evolution and spread of drug- and diagnostics-resistant ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum Malaria.
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2020 Understanding and controlling the spread of antimalarial resistance, particularly to artemisinin and its partner drugs, is a top priority. Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to chloroquine, amodiaquine, or piperaquine harbor mutations in the P ...

Characterization of Plasmodium falciparum glutamate dehydrogenase-soluble antigen
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998 The major aim of this study was to characterize a soluble Plasmodium falciparum antigen from the plasma of malaria-infected humans and Plasmodium falciparum culture supernatants, using immunoabsorbent techniques and Western blotting. An Mr 60-kDa protein
