Sentences with phrase «blood stage»

The asexual blood stages of malaria are initiated when a form of the parasite, called a merozoite, invades, replicates and synchronously ruptures host erythrocytes [4] releasing up to 32 progeny merozoites that can invade new erythrocytes.

We interrogated the P. falciparum blood stage proteome with plasma from resistant and susceptible two yr old children to identify parasite proteins that are the targets of protective antibody responses.

In summary, we will fully characterize a novel rationally identified blood stage malaria antigen.

We are supporting available materials with further evaluation across a wider range of antigens representing pre-erythrocytic stages as well as sexual and asexual blood stages.

Surprisingly, the major blood stage form of the parasite that causes the terrible cycles of intense fevers associated with malaria in humans can not be transmitted to mosquitos.

Torins are capable of killing the cultured blood stages of the human parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, the species which causes most malaria deaths and severe disease, and are equally potent against the liver stages of a model rodent parasite.

Therefore, our laboratory established a transformative high - throughput platform to screen a Plasmodium falciparum complementary DNA bacteriophage library that displays potentially the entire proteome of blood stage parasites.

Julian Rayner's group investigates the molecular details of human - parasite interactions during the P. falciparum blood stages, with a particular focus on large - scale experimental approaches to understanding erythrocyte invasion.

Researchers determined that the compound DSM265 kills the malaria parasite Plasmodium in both liver and blood stages of infection.

The prohibitin - free parasite was already struggling during the liver and blood stages of its life cycle, but the final blow was dealt when it tried to infect another mosquito: it failed to do so.

The laboratory has identified interactions that are essential for basic biological events of fundamental importance which notably include sperm - egg recognition in mammals, and the invasion of erythrocytes by the blood stage of Plasmodium falciparum - the parasite responsible for most clinical cases of the deadly infectious diseases, malaria.

We chose a mouse model that no blood stage vaccine had ever succeeded in, specifically to set a high bar for success.

We have compiled a large panel of proteins representing the cell surface receptor repertoire and secreted proteins from the blood stage of the malaria parasite.

Studying the blood stages of the parasite has therefore been a priority and scientists are trying to understand exactly how the parasite manages to avoid detection by the immune system over and over again.

This resource of extracellular P. falciparum merozoite proteins, which now contains 62 full - length ectodomains, will be a valuable tool in elucidating the function of these proteins during the blood stages of infection, and facilitate the comparative assessment of blood stage vaccine candidates.
