Living on the edge: a longitudinal study of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> in an isolated area of Mozambique (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding the survival strategies of malaria vectors at the edges of their distribution, where they are under stress from environmental conditions, may lead to the development of novel
Field evaluation of spatial repellency of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> complex in Bagamoyo, coastal... (Publications)
study reports the efficacy of the new prototypes of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex, in the Kongo villages of Bagamoyo district in coastal Tanzania

donovani) and cytotoxicity against mammalian primary cells. The highest activity was exerted against the malaria parasite P. falciparum (IC50 value 0.65 mug/mL) with low cytotoxicity (IC50 value 56.6 mug/mL). To
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
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
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
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
Synthesis, solution structure and immune recognition of an epidermal growth factor-like domain from <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite surface... (Publications)
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
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
