Malaria: A sporozoite runs through it [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2001
A recent study reveals new insights into the development of Plasmodium sporozoites, the infectious agents of malaria. These findings may lead to changes in the approach to malaria vaccines and novel interpretations of the mechanisms of immunity to malaria.

Indoor residual spraying of distinct insecticide formulations in a household‐scale micro‐mosaic format: Feasibility and effectiveness for malaria vector control in rural Zambia

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Hydroxamic Acids as HDAC Inhibitor Drug Leads for Malaria

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1477-1498, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a global health threat, with an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 malaria‐associated deaths reported in 2024. Most mortality is due to infection by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, with the highest burden occurring in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

Distinct Functional Contributions by the Conserved Domains of the Malaria Parasite Alveolin IMC1h

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Invasive, motile life cycle stages (zoites) of apicomplexan parasites possess a cortical membrane skeleton composed of intermediate filaments with roles in zoite morphogenesis, tensile strength and motility.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1574-1602, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Cell Traversal Activity Is Important for Plasmodium falciparum Liver Infection in Humanized Mice

open access: yesCell Reports, 2017
Malaria sporozoites are deposited into the skin by mosquitoes and infect hepatocytes. The molecular basis of how Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites migrate through host cells is poorly understood, and direct evidence of its importance in vivo is lacking ...

Toxoplasma gondii in Ethiopia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Infection Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors in Humans and Animals

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
This graphical abstract summarizes a systematic review and meta‐analysis of Toxoplasma gondii in Ethiopia (2012–2025). The study estimated pooled prevalence in ruminants (42.0%) and humans (61.0%) using random‐effects models. Female and adult animals, rural residence, and cat ownership were identified as significant risk factors. The findings emphasize

Longitudinal analysis of Plasmodium sporozoite motility in the dermis reveals component of blood vessel recognition

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Malaria infection starts with injection of Plasmodium sporozoites by an Anopheles mosquito into the skin of the mammalian host. How sporozoites locate and enter a blood vessel is a critical, but poorly understood process.

Computational Optimisation of EtAMA1 Reveals Its Potential as a Vaccine Candidate Against Eimeria tenella

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Eimeria tenella is one of the main causes of coccidiosis in poultry, with increasing drug resistance highlighting the need for alternate control strategies. This study identified Eimeria tenella AMA1 (EtAMA1) as a promising vaccine candidate through structural analysis, epitope prediction, immune simulation, and molecular docking, which demonstrated ...
