Bacteria- and IMD pathway-independent immune defenses against Plasmodium falciparum in Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mosquito Anopheles gambiae uses its innate immune system to control bacterial and Plasmodium infection of its midgut tissue. The activation of potent IMD pathway-mediated anti-Plasmodium falciparum defenses is dependent on the presence of the midgut ...

Gametocytogenesis: the puberty of Plasmodium falciparum.

Malaria journal, 2004
The protozoan Plasmodium falciparum has a complex life cycle in which asexual multiplication in the vertebrate host alternates with an obligate sexual reproduction in the anopheline mosquito. Apart from the apparent recombination advantages conferred by sex, P.

Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Eukaryotic Cell, 2014
ABSTRACT Malaria kills nearly 1 million people each year, and the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum has become increasingly resistant to current therapies. Isoprenoid synthesis via the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway represents an attractive target for the development of new antimalarials ...

Microvascular sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum

Blood, 2011
A 2-year-old boy presented to a clinic in rural Mali with fever and malaise. Thick and thin blood films stained with Giemsa (left and right, respectively) revealed that 25.7% of circulating erythrocytes were parasitized with Plasmodium falciparum (273 450 ring-stage parasites per microliter of whole blood). The child had an axillary temperature of 36.9°
