Mbandakamine-type naphthylisoquinoline dimers and related alkaloids from the central African liana <em>ancistrocladus ealaensis </em>with... (Publications)
ealaines A-D (11-14). The new mbandakamines C (4) and D (5) showed pronounced activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and they were likewise found to display strong cytotoxic activities
Candidate-gene based GWAS identifies reproducible DNA markers for metabolic pyrethroid resistance from standing genetic variation in East African... (Publications)
resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is widespread in Anopheles mosquitoes and is a major threat to malaria control. DNA markers would aid predictive monitoring of resistance, but few mutations have been
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
A generic schema and data collection forms applicable to diverse entomological studies of mosquitoes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Standardized schemas, databases, and public data repositories are needed for the studies of malaria vectors that encompass a remarkably diverse array of designs and rapidly generate large data volumes
Antiprotozoal activity of <em>Buxus sempervirens</em> and activity-guided isolation of <em>O</em>-tigloylcyclovirobuxeine-B as the main constituent... (Publications)
Buxus sempervirens L. (European Box, Buxaceae) has been used in ethnomedicine to treat malaria. In the course of our screening of plant extracts for antiprotozoal activity, a CH2Cl2 extract from leaves
Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis: common drugs for treatment and control (Publications)
More than 2 billion people are infected worldwide and the disease burden might approach that of malaria. Recognising the enormous public health significance of schistosomiasis and STH, particularly among
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
Evaluation of <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity of <em>Ajuga laxmannii </em>and its secondary metabolites (Publications)
Context Some Ajuga L. (Lamiaceae) species are traditionally used for the treatment of malaria, as well as fever, which is a common symptom of many parasitic diseases. Objective In the continuation of our
<em>Plasmodium </em>Helical Interspersed Subtelomeric (PHIST) proteins, at the Center of Host Cell Remodeling (Publications)
PfEMP1, gametocytogenesis, changes in cell rigidity, and also cerebral and pregnancy-associated malaria. Thus, we conclude that PHIST proteins are central to host cell remodeling, but despite their obvious
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
