Prevalence of anti-p: Falciparum sporozoite antibodies in adults in the amapa region of Brazil
17 of 20 adult sera from the Amapa region of Brazil were active in the inhibition of P. falciparum sporozoite invasion (ISI) assay which has been correlated with protective antibodies. In contrast 11 sera were positive in IFA tests and 6 were positive in

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.

Plasmodium Actin-Like Proteins 3 and 5a Are Required for Subsequent Steps of Mosquito Infection. [PDF]
Actin‐like proteins (Alps) are highly conserved, apicomplexan‐specific members of the actin superfamily. Using reverse genetics, we have identified that Alp3 and Alp5a are required at separate steps of transmission of the malaria parasite to its mosquito host.

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 ...

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.

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.

Malaria transmission to humans begins with sporozoite infection of the liver. The elucidation of gene regulation during the sporozoite stage will promote the investigation of mechanisms of liver infection by this parasite and contribute to the ...
