   Targeting <em>Plasmodium </em>plasmepsin V: hitting two birds with one stone

   Relevance:

   A recent report by Jennison et al. reveals an important role for plasmepsin V (PMV), an aspartyl protease, in the development of malaria transmission stages. The authors showed that PMV activity is cr

2. Stochastic protein alkylation by antimalarial peroxides (Publications)

   Stochastic protein alkylation by antimalarial peroxides

   Relevance:

   Antimalarial peroxides such as the phytochemical artemisinin or the synthetic ozonides arterolane and artefenomel undergo reductive cleavage of the pharmacophoric peroxide bond by ferrous heme, releas

3. Anti-malarial ozonides OZ439 and OZ609 tested at clinically relevant compound exposure parameters in a novel ring-stage survival assay (Publications)

   Anti-malarial ozonides OZ439 and OZ609 tested at clinically relevant compound exposure parameters in a novel ring-stage survival assay

   Relevance:

   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 o

4. <em>Plasmodium</em> gametocytes display homing and vascular transmigration in the host bone marrow (Publications)

   <em>Plasmodium</em> gametocytes display homing and vascular transmigration in the host bone marrow

   Relevance:

   Transmission of Plasmodium parasites to the mosquito requires the formation and development of gametocytes. Studies in infected humans have shown that only the most mature forms of Plasmodium falcipar

5. The development and evaluation of a self-marking unit to estimate malaria vector survival and dispersal distance (Publications)

   The development and evaluation of a self-marking unit to estimate malaria vector survival and dispersal distance

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: A clear understanding of mosquito biology is fundamental to the control efforts of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria. Mosquito mark-release-recapture (MMRR) experiments are a popular

6. A novel lineage of ceftriaxone-resistant <em>Salmonella </em>Typhi from India that is closely related to XDR <em>S</em>. Typhi found in Pakistan (Publications)

   A novel lineage of ceftriaxone-resistant <em>Salmonella </em>Typhi from India that is closely related to XDR <em>S</em>. Typhi found in Pakistan

   Relevance:

   Two MDR Salmonella Typhi isolates from India were found by whole genome sequencing to be closely related to the 2016 XDR S. Typhi outbreak strain from Pakistan. The Indian isolates have no chromosomal

7. Morbidity associated with <em>Schistosoma mekongi </em>and concurrent helminth infection in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Publications)

   Morbidity associated with <em>Schistosoma mekongi </em>and concurrent helminth infection in Lao People's Democratic Republic

   Relevance:

   In 2006, some 7 years after the halt of a multi-year schistosomiasis control programme, a study was conducted in the southern part of Lao People's Democratic Republic to determine the morbidity associ

8. Patients with severe schistosomiasis mekongi morbidity in southern Lao People's Democratic Republic demonstrating ongoing transmission (Publications)

   Patients with severe schistosomiasis mekongi morbidity in southern Lao People's Democratic Republic demonstrating ongoing transmission

   Relevance:

   Chronic infection with Schistosoma mekongi may result in severe hepatosplenic morbidity. S. mekongi control programs aimed to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with infection. We report on ei
