Conserved RNA Binding Activity of Phosphatidyl Inositol 5-Phosphate 4-Kinase (PIP4K2A)
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Plasmodium falciparum is a causative agent for malaria and has a complex life cycle in human and mosquito hosts. During its life cycle, the malarial parasite Plasmodium goes through different asexual and sexual stages, in humans and mosquitoes ...

An epithelial serine protease, AgESP, is required for Plasmodium invasion in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Plasmodium parasites need to cross the midgut and salivary gland epithelia to complete their life cycle in the mosquito. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanism and the mosquito genes that participate in this process is still very limited ...

Activation of the hypnozoite: a part of Plasmodium vivax life cycle and survival [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2011 Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread malaria parasite. It has a dormant stage in the human liver, which makes it difficult to eradicate. It is proposed that a relapse of vivax malaria, besides being genetically determined by the specific strain, is induced by the bites of uninfected vectors.The dormant stage maximizes the possibility for the ...

Plasmodium Reproduction, Cell Size, and Transcription: How to Cope With Increasing DNA Content?
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Plasmodium, the unicellular parasite that causes malaria, evolved a highly unusual mode of reproduction. During its complex life cycle, invasive or transmissive stages alternate with proliferating stages, where a single parasite can produce tens of ...

eLife, 2020 Cell cycle transitions are generally triggered by variation in the activity of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) bound to cyclins. Malaria-causing parasites have a life cycle with unique cell-division cycles, and a repertoire of divergent CDKs and cyclins ...

Checks and balances? DNA replication and the cell cycle in Plasmodium
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 It is over 100 years since the life-cycle of the malaria parasite Plasmodium was discovered, yet its intricacies remain incompletely understood - a knowledge gap that may prove crucial for our efforts to control the disease.
