Transition of plasmodium sporozoites into liver stage-like forms is regulated by the RNA binding protein pumilio [PDF]

, 2011
Many eukaryotic developmental and cell fate decisions that are effected post-transcriptionally involve RNA binding proteins as regulators of translation of key mRNAs.

The mucin-like, secretory type-I transmembrane glycoprotein GP900 in the apicomplexan Cryptosporidium parvum is cleaved in the secretory pathway and likely plays a lubrication role

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Cryptosporidium parvum is a zoonotic parasite and member of the phylum Apicomplexa with unique secretory organelles, including a rhoptry, micronemes and dense granules that discharge their contents during parasite invasion.

Immunization with CSP and a RIG-I Agonist is Effective in Inducing a Functional and Protective Humoral Response Against Plasmodium

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Malaria is a major public health concern, as a highly effective human vaccine remains elusive. The efficacy of a subunit vaccine targeting the most abundant protein of the sporozoite surface, the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) has been hindered by ...

ATG Ubiquitination Is Required for Circumsporozoite Protein to Subvert Host Innate Immunity Against Rodent Malaria Liver Stage

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Although exo-erythrocytic forms (EEFs) of liver stage malaria parasite in the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) are encountered with robust host innate immunity, EEFs can still survive and successfully complete the infection of hepatocytes, and the underlying

The Road toward a Trojan Horse Malaria Vaccine: Chemical Augmentation of Live Sporozoites without Affecting Their Viability. [PDF]

Mol Pharm
In our effort to design an effective ultralow-dose attenuated whole sporozoite (SPZ) vaccine, we explored the use of chemical adjuvants to increase the immunogenicity of sporozoites.
