sub-micromolar range against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma cruzi, as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which lack trypanothione metabolism. The inhibitors exhibit strong
Genetic analysis of IgG subclass responses against RESA and MSP2 of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> in adults in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
complex than governed by a single major gene. Such host genetic variation in responses to specific malaria antigens has implications for immuno-epidemiology and vaccine development
Genesis of and trafficking to the Maurer's clefts of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected erythrocytes (Publications)
Malaria parasites export proteins beyond their own plasma membrane to locations in the red blood cells in which they reside. Maurer's clefts are parasite-derived structures within the host cell cytoplasm
Complete structural assignment of serratol, a cembrane-type diterpene from <em>Boswellia serrata</em>, and evaluation of its antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
T. cruzi (Chagas' disease), Leishmania donovani (Kala-Azar), and Plasmodium falciparum (Tropical Malaria). It was found active against T. brucei and P. falciparum. These activities were 10- to 15-fold higher
Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. The model is applied to a panel data set of malaria genotype data from a randomized controlled trial of bed nets in Tanzanian children aged 6-30 months

iented approach to the study and optimization of the antigenicity of the protein as a potential malaria vaccine candidate, whilst exploiting the immunopotentiating properties of influenza virosomes as
Analogues of thiolactomycin as potential antimalarial agents (Publications)
fatty acid synthase, were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Alkylation of the C4 hydroxyl group led to the most significant increase
CRISPR-Cas9-modified <em>pfmdr1</em> protects <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>asexual blood stages and gametocytes against a class of... (Publications)
Emerging resistance to first-line antimalarial combination therapies threatens malaria treatment and the global elimination campaign. Improved therapeutic strategies are required to protect existing drugs
Host-directed therapies for infectious diseases: current status, recent progress, and future prospects (Publications)
functional disability arising from tissue damage. The continuing epidemics of tuberculosis, HIV, malaria, and influenza, and the emergence of novel zoonotic pathogens represent major clinical management
Maurer's clefts, the enigma of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of malaria, completely remodels the infected human erythrocyte to acquire nutrients and to evade the immune system. For this process, the parasite exports more
