Plasmodium sporozoite motility: an update

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012
Plasmodium, the causative agent of malaria, employs its own actin/myosin-based motor for forward locomotion, penetration of molecular and cellular barriers, and invasion of target cells. The sporozoite is unique amongst the extracellular Plasmodium developmental forms in that it has to cross considerable distances and different tissues inside the ...

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Domestic Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) in Kathmandu, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Gastrointestinal parasites in ducks raised on smallholder farms in Kathmandu, Nepal, are investigated using copromicroscopic examination. A diverse range of protozoa and helminth parasites are detected including the first records of Entamoeba spp., Cryptosporidium sp. and Tyzzeria sp. in ducks in Nepal.

A comparative study on the vector competence of Anopheles stephensi from geographically distinct malarious and non-malarious urban areas in India to the malarial parasite, Plasmodium vivax

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: Anopheles stephensi is responsible for the transmission of malaria in urban areas. Vector competence of An. stephensi from a non-malarious (Coimbatore) and highly malarious (Chennai) urban area were investigated to find out the ...

Molecular Detection, Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Babesia microti Infecting Wild Rodents

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Blood samples from 284 rodents captured across seven districts of Pakistan were screened for Babesia microti using 18S rRNA PCR. Overall prevalence was 12%, with infection detected in Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. Phylogenetic analysis showed close similarity with global isolates.

Antibody-Mediated Protection against Plasmodium Sporozoites Begins at the Dermal Inoculation Site

mBio, 2018
Plasmodium sporozoites are injected into the skin as mosquitoes probe for blood. From here, they migrate through the dermis to find blood vessels which they enter in order to be rapidly carried to the liver, where they invade hepatocytes and develop into

Molecular Genetics of Hepatozoon canis With a Note on Effect of Parasite on the Complete Blood Count Profile of Canine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
A total of 654 blood samples were collected from healthy dogs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces in Pakistan and screened for the presence of Hepatozoon canis. Genetic diversity of the detected H. canis DNA, infection‐associated risk factors, and changes in the complete blood count of the host due to parasitic activity were also evaluated.

Variants of the Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein (VK210 and VK247) in Colombian isolates

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
Phenotypic diversity has been described in the central repeated region of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) from Plasmodium vivax. Two sequences VK210 (common) and VK247 (variant) have been found widely distributed in P.

Development of sporogonic cycle of Plasmodium vivax in experimentally infected Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994
The sporogonic cycle of Plasmodium vivax was established and maintained under laboratory conditions in two different strains of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes using as a parasite source blood from human patients or from Aotus monkeys infected with the ...

Effect of CA-074 Me on MDBK cell invasion by E. tenella sporozoites.

, 2013
Purified sporozoites were incubated with 10 to 100 µM of CA-074ME, a specific cathepsin B inhibitor permeable to membranes or with 1% DMSO. Sporozoites were then washed and incubated with MDBK cells.
