Novel inhibitors of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dihydroorotate dehydrogenase with anti-malarial activity in the mouse model (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most deadly form of human malaria, is unable to salvage pyrimidines and must rely on de novo biosynthesis for survival. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)
In vitro interaction of artemisinin derivatives or the fully synthetic peroxidic anti-malarial OZ277 with thapsigargin in <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) recommended as first-line treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in disease-endemic countries. Studies by Eckstein-Ludwig and co-workers showed both thapsigargin
<em>P. falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> orthologous coiled-coil candidates for a potential cross-protective vaccine (Publications)
Over the last four decades, significant efforts have been invested to develop vaccines against malaria. Although most efforts are focused on the development of P. falciparum vaccines, the current availability

Identification and deconvolution of cross-resistance signals from antimalarial compounds using multidrug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>... (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria agent, displays a wide variety of resistance mechanisms in the field. The ability of antimalarial compounds in development to overcome these must therefore
Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> by comparative transcriptional profiling (Publications)
have important implications for our understanding and future analyses of phenotypic variation in malaria parasites
Histopathological changes in adult <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> harbored in mice treated with a single dose of mefloquine (Publications)
New research has shown that mefloquine, an arylaminoalcohol used against malaria, is active against Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni in vivo. To enhance our understanding of the potential
Genomic distribution and functional characterisation of two distinct and conserved <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> var gene 5' flanking sequences (Publications)
Approximately 50 highly diverse var genes distributed throughout the haploid genome of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum code for PfEMP1 variants located on the surface of infected erythrocytes
Evidence for limited activation of distinct CD4+ T cell subsets in response to the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>circumsporozoite protein in Papua... (Publications)
In this study, we have studied cellular and humoral responses of individuals naturally exposed to malaria in a highly endemic region of Papua New Guinea to the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum
