Modeling marine cargo traffic to identify countries in Africa with greatest risk of invasion by <em>Anopheles stephensi</em> (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, an invasive malaria vector native to South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, was detected in Djibouti's seaport, followed by Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria. If An. stephensi
Chemoproteomics validates selective targeting of <em>Plasmodium</em> M1 alanyl aminopeptidase as an antimalarial strategy (Publications)
New antimalarial drug candidates that act via novel mechanisms are urgently needed to combat malaria drug resistance. Here, we describe the multi-omic chemical validation of Plasmodium M1 alanyl metal
Insecticide susceptibility of <em>Anopheles </em>mosquitoes changes in response to variations in the larval environment (Publications)
Insecticide resistance threatens the success achieved through vector control in reducing the burden of malaria. An understanding of insecticide resistance mechanisms would help to develop novel tools and strategies
Target product profile for a diagnostic assay to differentiate between bacterial and non-bacterial infections and reduce antimicrobial overuse in... (Publications)
group, and consensus characteristics were defined. The working group defined non-severely ill, non-malaria infected children as the target population for the desired assay. To provide access to the most patients
Identification of a cis-acting DNA-protein interaction implicated in singular var gene choice in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe form of malaria in humans. Antigenic variation of P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 leads to immune evasion and occurs through switches
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> centromeres display a unique epigenetic makeup and cluster prior to and during schizogony (Publications)
organisms. The centromeres of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most severe form of malaria have been broadly mapped on most chromosomes, but their epigenetic composition remained undefined
<em>In vitro</em> assessment of the pharmacodynamic properties and the partitioning of OZ277/RBx-11160 in cultures of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Using synchronous cultures of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the stage sensitivity of the parasite to OZ277 (RBx-11160), the first fully synthetic antimalarial peroxide that has entered Phase
MAHRP2, an exported protein of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>, is an essential component of Maurer's cleft tethers (Publications)
Summary Upon invasion into erythrocytes, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum must refurbish the host cell. The objective of this study was to elucidate the location and function of MAHRP2 in these
Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: PfPDEalpha, a non-essential cGMP-specific PDE that is an integral... (Publications)
potential targets for PDE inhibitor-based anti-parasitic drugs. Genomes of the various agents of human malaria, most notably Plasmodium falciparum, all contain four genes for class 1 PDEs. The catalytic domains
Screening medicinal plants for the detection of novel antimalarial products applying the inhibition of beta-hematin formation (Publications)
identification of novel scaffolds for the development of effective and safe treatments to fight malaria is urgently needed. One of the main opportunities is the discovery of new molecules from natural
