DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.05.030
Abstract: Female Anopheles mosquitoes are the definitive hosts of Plasmodium parasites. A new study has found that successful establishment and development of Plasmodium in the Anopheles midgut requires mosquito oogenesis, without affecting egg production. read more here.

De novo synthesis of thiamine (vitamin B1) is the ancestral state in Plasmodium parasites – evidence from avian haemosporidians

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182017002219
Abstract: Abstract Parasites often have reduced genomes as their own genes become redundant when utilizing their host as a source of metabolites, thus losing their own de novo production of metabolites. Primate malaria parasites can synthesize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jvec.12330
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Mosquito vectors play a crucial role in the distribution of avian Plasmodium parasites worldwide. At northern latitudes, where climate warming is most pronounced, there are questions about possible changes in the abundance and distribution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01106-19
Abstract: The Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria export hundreds of proteins into their host red blood cell (RBC). These exported proteins drastically alter the structural and functional properties of the RBC and play critical roles in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010887
Abstract: Plasmodium parasites are reliant on the Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) transcription factor family to regulate gene expression programs. AP2 DNA binding domains have no homologs in the human or mosquito host genomes, making them potential antimalarial… read more here.

Abstract: Malaria remains a major global health burden, causing over 247 million cases and 619,000 deaths in 2021 [1]. This disease is caused by eukaryotic, apicomplexan parasites in the species Plasmodium, with the majority of cases… read more here.
