Limited polymorphism in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> sexual-stage antigens (Publications)
In areas highly endemic for malaria, individuals are frequently found to be infected simultaneously with multiple Plasmodium falciparum clones. This raises the question of whether all parasite clones produce

for antiplasmodial activity against NF54 (sensitive) and K1 (multidrug resistant) strains of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and evaluated for both aqueous solubility and metabolic stability
The adjuvant GLA-SE promotes human Tfh cell expansion and emergence of public TCRβ clonotypes (Publications)
vaccine formulations, circulating Tfh cells were expanded in Tanzanian volunteers when an experimental malaria vaccine was adjuvanted in GLA-SE but not when formulated in Alum. The GLA-SE-formulated peptide was
Additional blood meals increase sporozoite infection in <em>Anopheles</em> mosquitoes but not <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> genetic diversity (Publications)
multiple blood meals on the number of P. falciparum genotypes developing from polyclonal natural human malaria infections (field-isolates) remains unexplored. Here, we experimentally infect An. gambiae with P

and, on behalf of the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), provides reference diagnosis for malaria and confirmatory diagnosis for other non-endemic parasitic diseases as part of the surveillance concept
Anti-malarial ozonides OZ439 and OZ609 tested at clinically relevant compound exposure parameters in a novel ring-stage survival assay (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Drug efficacy against kelch 13 mutant malaria parasites can be determined in vitro with the ring-stage survival assay (RSA). The conventional assay protocol reflects the exposure profile of
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
Inhibition of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> Hsp90 contributes to the antimalarial activities of aminoalcohol-carbazoles (Publications)
Malaria caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) remains a major public health problem throughout the developing world. One molecular target that should receive more attention is the
