study reports the efficacy of the new prototypes of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex, in the Kongo villages of Bagamoyo district in coastal Tanzania
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
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> centromeres display a unique epigenetic makeup and cluster prior to and during schizogony (Publications)
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
<em>In vitro</em> assessment of the pharmacodynamic properties and the partitioning of OZ277/RBx-11160 in cultures of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Using synchronous cultures of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the stage sensitivity of the parasite to OZ277 (RBx-11160), the first fully synthetic antimalarial peroxide that has entered Phase
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
Screening medicinal plants for the detection of novel antimalarial products applying the inhibition of beta-hematin formation (Publications)
identification of novel scaffolds for the development of effective and safe treatments to fight malaria is urgently needed. One of the main opportunities is the discovery of new molecules from natural

and performed medical examinations. We performed full blood cell counts and screened for HIV and malaria. Point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen (POC-CCA), urine filtration, Kato-Katz, FLOTAC, and Baermann
<em>Plasmodium vivax </em>molecular diagnostics in community surveys: pitfalls and solutions (Publications)
ial DNA-based assay increased prevalence from 4.9 to 6.5%. The usefulness of molecular tests in malaria epidemiological studies is widely recognized, especially when precise prevalence rates are desired
Selection and reversal of <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> resistance in the mouse model following repeated high doses of artemether (Publications)
Artemether, a derivative of artemisinin, is effectively used for the treatment of malaria without any clinically relevant resistance to date. Artemether has also been developed as an antischistosomal agent
