Imputation-Based Population Genetics Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Parasites
Whole-genome sequencing technologies are being increasingly applied to Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates to identify genetic determinants of malaria pathogenesis. However, genome-wide discovery methods, such as haplotype scans for signatures of natural selection, are hindered by missing genotypes in sequence data. Poor correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P. f...
متن کاملKinetics of B cell responses to Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 in Ghanaian women naturally exposed to malaria parasites.
Naturally acquired protective immunity to Plasmodium falciparum malaria takes years to develop. It relies mainly on Abs, particularly IgG specific for Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) proteins on the infected erythrocyte surface. It is only partially understood why acquisition of clinical protection takes years to develop, but it probably involves a range of immune-...
متن کاملGlutathione export from human erythrocytes and Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites.
Glutathione export from uninfected human erythrocytes was compared with that from cells infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum using two separate methods that distinguish between oxidized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH) glutathione. One involved enzymatic recycling with or without thiol-masking; the other involved rapid derivatization followed by HPLC. Glutathione efflux from uninfec...

متن کاملEffect of plasmodium Parasitaemia on some haematological parameters in children living in Sokoto, North Western, Nigeria
Objectives: Malaria infection is a major public health problem and cause of morbidity and mortality particularly among children in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The aim of this present study was to determine the effect of plasmodium parasitaemia on some haematological parameters of children visiting the children emergency unit of Sokoto State Specialist Hospital in Sokoto, Nort...
