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
An efficient system to generate monoclonal antibodies against membrane-associated proteins by immunisation with antigen-expressing mammalian cells (Publications)
present study, we applied this approach successfully for three predicted GPI-anchored proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. CONCLUSIONS: The described entirely cell-based technology is a fast
Enrichment of a single clone from a high diversity library of phage-displayed antibodies by panning with<em> Anopheles gambiae </em>(Diptera:... (Publications)
suggest that the selection of sufficiently diverse antibody panels, from which mosquitocidal or malaria transmission-blocking antibodies can be isolated, may require improved selection methods or specifically
Inclusion of health in impact assessment: a review of current practice in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
health determinants and included health outcomes were often limited to a few aspects, such as HIV, malaria and injuries. The miniscule yield of reports (1.6% of contacted projects) and the low response rate
Heterogeneous distribution of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> drug resistance haplotypes in subsets of the host population (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in malaria control. For mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of drug resistance the determinant parameters need to be identified
Isothermal microcalorimetry, a new tool to monitor drug action against <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
the toolbox for drug discovery for protozoal diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis and malaria. The method could probably be adapted to other protozoan parasites, especially those growing ext

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

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
