dispensing prophylactic drugs against anaemia or malaria were not respected, and diagnostic examinations for the assessment of gestation, anaemia, malaria or urine infection were frequently not performed
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: cloned and expressed CIDR domains of PfEMP1 bind to chondroitin sulfate A (Publications)
parasites (iRBC) to microvascular endothelial cells contributes to the pathology of P. falciparum malaria. It has been shown that the variant P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) confers [...] elucidate their functions and may lead to novel anti-adherence therapeutics, especially for maternal malaria infections.

Prospective risk of morbidity in relation to multiplicity of infection with <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>in Sao Tomé (Publications)
confounding by patterns of health service usage is an alternative explanation. The incidence of clinical malaria episodes was only a little higher in children than in adults. This weak age-dependence in clinical [...] a consequence of a cohort effect resulting from resurgence of the disease after the breakdown of malaria control programs in the 1980s.
Sequence and diversity of T-cell receptor alpha <em>V</em>, <em>J</em>, and <em>C</em> genes of the owl monkey <em>Aotus nancymaae</em> (Publications)
which are susceptible to infection with the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, as an animal model for the evaluation of molecularly defined malaria vaccine candidates
The <em>Plasmodium </em>lactate/H+ transporter PfFNT is essential and druggable <em>in vivo</em> (Publications)
Malaria parasites in the blood stage express a single transmembrane transport protein for the release of the glycolytic end product l-lactate/H(+) from the cell. This transporter is a member of the strictly [...] ty of the PfFNT target on a genetic level, and established its in vivo druggability using mouse malaria models. We found that, besides a previously identified PfFNT G107S resistance mutation, selection

stricto mosquitoes are major East African malaria vectors. Understanding their dispersal and population structure is critical for developing effective malaria control tools. Three mark-release-recapture
Activity refinement of aryl amino acetamides that target the <em>P. falciparum</em> STAR-related lipid transfer 1 protein (Publications)
Malaria is a devastating disease that causes significant morbidity worldwide. The development of new antimalarial chemotypes is urgently needed because of the emergence of resistance to frontline therapies [...] a useful tool for further investigating the druggability of PfSTART1 across the lifecycle of the malaria parasite.

Overall, all interventions had both personal and community effects, preventing [...] than just reduction in biting, to be parameterised and highlights the tools assessed as promising malaria interventions.

Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis of affinity chromatography-purified [...] coinfections such as Plasmodium and Leishmania. When fluorescein-labeled PAAs were fed to females of the malaria mosquito vectors Anopheles atroparvus and Anopheles gambiae, persistent fluorescence was observed
Longitudinal tracking and quantification of individual <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>clones in complex infections (Publications)
falciparum strains in multi-clonal infections is essential for investigating infection dynamics of malaria. The traditional genotyping techniques did not permit tracking changes in individual clone density [...] longitudinally by Amp-Seq despite MOI > 1, thus providing an additional parameter for investigating malaria infection dynamics. Amp-Seq based genotyping of longitudinal samples improves detection of minority
