A distinctive feature of Plasmodium vivax infections is the overall low parasite density in
peripheral blood. Thus, identifying asymptomatic infected individuals in endemic …

Background Rodent malaria parasites (RMP) are used extensively as models of human
malaria. Draft RMP genomes have been published for Plasmodium yoelii, P. berghei ANKA …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding regulatory RNAs, have been detected in
a variety of organisms ranging from ancient unicellular eukaryotes to mammals. They have …

Plasmodium vivax is now the predominant cause of malaria in the Asia-Pacific, South
America and Horn of Africa. Laboratory studies of this species are constrained by the …

Recent sequencing of Plasmodium vivax field isolates and monkey-adapted strains enabled
characterization of SNPs throughout the genome. These analyses relied on mapping short …

Malaria in humans is caused by six species of Plasmodium parasites, of which the nuclear
genome sequences for the two Plasmodium ovale spp., P. ovale curtisi and P. ovale …

Controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) provides a highly informative means to
investigate host-pathogen interactions and enable in vivo proof-of-concept efficacy testing of …

Historically seen as a benign disease, it is now becoming clear that Plasmodium vivax can
cause significant morbidity. Effective control strategies targeting P. vivax malaria is hindered …

Many variant proteins encoded by Plasmodium-specific multigene families are exported into
red blood cells (RBC). P. falciparum-specific variant proteins encoded by the var, stevor and …

Background: Plasmodium cynomolgi, a non-human primate malaria parasite species, has
been an important model parasite since its discovery in 1907. Similarities in the biology of P …
