Autoantibodies to Extracellular Erythrocyte Band 3 Epitopes Are Associated With Anemia in Plasmodium vivax Infection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Plasmodium vivax‐associated anemia is a multifactorial clinical outcome, in which the destruction of uninfected red blood cells (uRBCs) plays a major role in disease development and severity. Here, we identified autoantibody targets within the extracellular loops of Band 3 (B3), a major erythrocyte transmembrane protein.

Susceptibility of two karyotypic forms of Anopheles aconitus (Diptera Culicidae) to Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax [PDF]
Four laboratory-raised colonies of two karyotypic forms of Anopheles aconitus, i.e., Form B (Chiang Mai and Phet Buri strains) and C (Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son strains), were experimentally infected with Plasmodium falciparum and P.

Complexity of malaria transmission dynamics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium vivax are protozoan parasites that can cause malaria in humans. They are genetically indistinguishable from, respectively, Plasmodium brasilianum and Plasmodium simium, i.e.

Multiple cerebral microbleeds in two cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria
Cerebral malaria is a commonly encountered complication associated with Plasmodium falciparum malaria. However, it is rare with Plasmodium vivax malaria. We report magnetic resonance imaging findings in two cases of P. vivax malaria.
