Relationship between insecticide resistance profiles in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> <em>sensu lato</em> and agricultural practices in Côte... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-based malaria vector control is increasingly undermined due to the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Insecticide resistance may partially be related to the use [...] s between the type of agricultural practices and certain insecticide resistance profiles in the malaria vector An. gambiae s.l. which might arise from the use of pesticides deployed for protecting crops

Furthermore, survival of malaria transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes is strongly decreased after feeding on humans recently treated [...] . Currently, mass drug administration of ivermectin is under investigation as a potential novel malaria vector control tool to reduce Plasmodium transmission by mosquitoes. A "post-ivermectin effect" has

resistance remains a major obstacle to malaria treatment and control. It can arise and spread rapidly, and vary substantially even at sub-national level. National malaria programmes require cost-effective and
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> histone methyltransferase PfSET10 is dispensable for the regulation of antigenic variation and gene expression in... (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the virulence factor P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) to escape adaptive immune responses during blood infection [...] for life cycle progression in the mosquito vector or during liver stage development.IMPORTANCEThe malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum infects hundreds of millions of people every year. To survive and

asexual intraerythrocytic development of Plasmodium falciparum, causing the most severe form of human malaria, is marked by extensive host cell remodeling. Throughout the processes of invasion, intracellular
