7-<em>N</em>-substituted-3-oxadiazole quinolones with potent antimalarial activity target the cytochrome <em>bc</em>1 complex (Publications)
parasite and male gamete development and reduced asexual parasitemia in a P. berghei mouse model of malaria. Correcting the limited aqueous solubility and the high susceptibility to cyt b Q(o) site resistant
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
Different classes of genomic inserts contribute to human antibody diversity (Publications)
elements from distant genes in antibody transcripts. Independent of the preexposure of donors to malaria parasites, non-VDJ inserts were detected in 80% of individuals at frequencies of 1 in 10(4) to 10(5)
Characterization of the small exported <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> membrane protein SEMP1 (Publications)
Survival and virulence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during the blood stage of infection critically depend on extensive host cell refurbishments mediated through export of numerous
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
Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled
2-Octadecynoic acid as a dual life stage inhibitor of <em>Plasmodium</em> infections and plasmodial FAS-II enzymes (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium goes through two life stages in the human host, a non-symptomatic liver stage (LS) followed by a blood stage with all clinical manifestation of the disease. In this study
Monitoring of selected health indicators in children living in a copper mine development area in northwestern Zambia (Publications)
The epidemiology of malaria, anaemia and malnutrition in children is potentially altered in mining development areas. In a copper extraction project in northwestern Zambia, a health impact assessment (HIA)
Perceptions on the effect of small electric fans on comfort inside bed nets in southern Ghana: a qualitative study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are known to be highly effective in reducing malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality. However, among those owning an LLIN, use rates are often
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
