BCKDH: the missing link in apicomplexan mitochondrial metabolism is required for full virulence of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei [PDF]

, 2014
While the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are thought to primarily depend on glycolysis for ATP synthesis, recent studies have shown that they can fully catabolize glucose in a canonical TCA cycle.

Proteasome Inhibitors Block Development of Plasmodium spp [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1998
ABSTRACT Proteasomes degrade most of the proteins inside eukaryotic cells, including transcription factors and regulators of cell cycle progression. Here we show that nanomolar concentrations of lactacystin, a specific irreversible inhibitor of the 20S proteasome, inhibit development of the exoerythrocytic and erythrocytic stages

Prevalence of Avian Haemosporidian Parasites: A Comparative Study between Resident and Migratory Birds of Iraq [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2023
Haemosporidians are a diverse group of vector-borne parasitic protozoa that have a global distribution and some of them live in the avian body as a benign parasite, with no symptoms.

Epidemiological profile of Plasmodium ovale spp. imported from Africa to Anhui Province, China, 2012–2019

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Although autochthonous malaria cases are no longer reported in Anhui Province, China, imported malaria has become a major health concern. The proportion of reported malaria cases caused by Plasmodium ovale spp.

Mitochondria of mammalianPlasmodiumspp.

Parasitology, 1991
SUMMARYHighly purified mitochondrial fractions have been isolated from the intraerythrocytic stages of two mammalianPlasmodiumspp.,Plasmodium yoeliiof rodents andPlasmodium falciparumof man. Mitochondria of the former parasite are cristate whereas those of the latter are essentially acristate.

Antibody Responses to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax and Prospective Risk of Plasmodium spp. Infection Postpartum [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017
Postpartum women may have an altered susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. The relationship between naturally acquired malarial immunity and susceptibility to malaria postpartum is yet to be determined. IgG levels were measured against P. falciparum and P.

Complex interactions between bacteria and haemosporidia in coinfected hosts: An experiment

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Hosts are typically coinfected by multiple parasite species whose interactions might be synergetic or antagonistic, producing unpredictable physiological and pathological impacts on the host. This study shows the interaction between Plasmodium spp.
