Chemoprophylaxis with sporozoite immunization in P. knowlesi rhesus monkeys confers protection and elicits sporozoite-specific memory T cells in the liver. [PDF]
Whole malaria sporozoite vaccine regimens are promising new strategies, and some candidates have demonstrated high rates of durable clinical protection associated with memory T cell responses. Little is known about the anatomical distribution of memory T

Cryopreservation of Plasmodium Sporozoites
Malaria is a deadly disease caused by the parasite, Plasmodium, and impacts the lives of millions of people around the world. Following inoculation into mammalian hosts by infected mosquitoes, the sporozoite stage of Plasmodium undergoes obligate development in the liver before infecting erythrocytes and causing clinical malaria.

Characterization of immunoglobulin G antibodies to
Background MB2 protein is a sporozoite surface antigen on the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. MB2 was identified by screening a P. falciparum sporozoite cDNA expression library using immune sera from a protected donor immunized via the ...

Identification of the Eimeria spp. that infect Linnaeus sheep, 1758, and their morphological characteristics (Ovis aries) in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia [PDF]
The epidemiology of parasitic infections in sheep is a significant problem in the fields of meat production and human health. Coccidiosis in sheep is one of the major problems caused by protozoan parasites from the genus Eimeria.

Identification of Key Determinants of Cerebral Malaria Development and Inhibition Pathways
Cerebral malaria (CM), coma caused by Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (iRBCs), is the deadliest complication of malaria. The mechanisms that lead to CM development are incompletely understood.

Translational Repression in Malaria Sporozoites [PDF]
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by the parasitic protozoan, Plasmodium. Sporozoites, the infectious form of malaria parasites, are quiescent when they remain in the salivary glands of the Anopheles mosquito until transmission into a mammalian host.

Differential evidence of natural selection on two leading sporozoite stage malaria vaccine candidate antigens. [PDF]
Experimental malaria vaccines based on two sporozoite stage candidate antigens of Plasmodium falciparum, the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and thrombospondin-related adhesive protein (TRAP), have undergone clinical trials of efficacy.
