Plasmodium falciparum biosynthesizes sulfoglycosphingolipids

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2007
Sulfated glycosphingolipids are present on the surface of a variety of cells. They are active participants in adhesion processes in many systems and appear to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and other developmental cellular events.

Whole genome sequencing and microsatellite analysis of the Plasmodium falciparum E5 NF54 strain show that the var, rifin and stevor gene families follow Mendelian inheritance [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Plasmodium falciparum exhibits a high degree of inter-isolate genetic diversity in its variant surface antigen (VSA) families: P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1, repetitive interspersed family (RIFIN) and subtelomeric variable ...

Simple Molecular Methods for Early Detection of Chloroquine Drug Resistance in Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Malaria is a human disease of which causes high morbidity and mortality. In Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the resistance to antimalarial drugs, especially chloroquine (CQ) is one of the paramount factors contributing to the global ...

Major subpopulations of Plasmodium falciparum in sub-Saharan Africa

Science, 2019
Ebb and flow of parasite populations The population genetics of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum across Africa is poorly understood but important to know for grasping the risks and dynamics of the spread of drug resistance. Harnessing the power

DNA recovery from used malaria RDT to detect Plasmodium species and to assess Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity: a pilot study in Madagascar

Malaria Journal, 2022
Background Rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) are widely used for malaria diagnosis in Madagascar, where Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant species. Molecular diagnosis is essential for malaria surveillance, but requires additional blood samples for DNA ...

PlasmoDocking: A User-Friendly Open-Source Web Tool for Virtual Screening Targeting Plasmodium falciparum Enzymes. [PDF]

J Comput Chem
We present Plasmodocking, a web platform that automates the molecular docking process using Autodock GPU for multi‐targeting Virtual Screening (N × N). Simply provide up to 10 candidate inhibitor molecules in .sdf format, and the software will execute docking against 38 prepared and validated target enzymes from Plasmodium falciparum.

Persistent transmission of Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale species in an area of declining Plasmodium falciparum transmission in eastern Tanzania

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
A reduction in the global burden of malaria over the past two decades has encouraged efforts for regional malaria elimination. Despite the need to target all Plasmodium species, current focus is mainly directed towards Plasmodium falciparum, and to a ...
