Background: Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) grows at a variable rate between individuals,
resulting in different parasitaemia, total body parasite burden and degrees of disease …

The advent of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) in vitro culturing opened the door for malaria
research, yielding dramatic advancements in our understanding of the parasite. However …

Background. Parasite multiplication rates vary among Plasmodium falciparum isolates from
patients with malaria, suggesting differences in virulence potential, although direct …

We attempted to optimize some of the variables involved in the in vitro culturing of
Plasmodium falciparum. Irrespective of the isolates used, suspension cultures in glucose …

Background Natural immunity to Plasmodium falciparum has been widely studied, but its
effects on parasite dynamics are poorly understood. Acquisition and clearance rates of …

The Plasmodium falciparum in vitro culture system is critical for genotypic and phenotypic
analyses of the parasites. For genotypic analysis, the genomic DNA can be obtained directly …

It is important to understand intrinsic variation in asexual blood stage multiplication rates of
the most virulent human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Here, multiplication rates …

Malaria remains a devastating disease, particularly in the tropics. The annual incidence of
malaria worldwide is estimated to be between 294 and 500 million clinical cases, while …

A retrospective analysis was performed of parasite count data recorded from the first 7 days
of blood or mosquito transmitted Plasmodium falciparum infections given for the treatment of …

Background Malaria morbidity and mortality, almost entirely from Plasmodium falciparum,
are still rampant in Africa: therefore, it is important to study the biology of the parasite and the …
