Malaria, a mosquito‐borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium
continues to be a major health problem worldwide. The unicellular Plasmodium‐parasites …

More than a century after the discovery of Plasmodium spp. parasites, the pathogenesis of
severe malaria is still not well understood. The majority of malaria cases are caused by …

The dry season is a major challenge for Plasmodium falciparum parasites in many malaria
endemic regions, where water availability limits mosquito vectors to only part of the year …

Abs are central to malaria immunity, which is only acquired after years of exposure to
Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Despite the enormous worldwide burden of malaria, the targets …

The var gene encoded hyper-variable Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane
protein 1 (PfEMP1) family mediates cytoadhesion of infected erythrocytes to human …

In Plasmodium falciparum–endemic areas, pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) is an
important health problem. The condition is precipitated by accumulation of parasite-infected …

That humans in endemic areas become immune to malaria offers encouragement to the
idea of developing protective vaccines. However natural immunity is relatively inefficient …

Clonally variant gene families underlie phenotypic plasticity in Plasmodium falciparum, a
process indispensable for survival of the pathogen in its human host. Differential …

The clinical outcome of Plasmodium falciparum infections ranges from asymptomatic
parasitemia to severe malaria syndromes associated with high mortality. The virulence of P …

The molecular mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation in apicomplexan parasites
remain poorly understood. Recently, the Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) family of DNA binding …
