Malaria: A sporozoite runs through it
A recent study reveals new insights into the development of Plasmodium sporozoites, the infectious agents of malaria. These findings may lead to changes in the approach to malaria vaccines and novel interpretations of the mechanisms of immunity to malaria.
متن کاملA barrier runs through it... or maybe just a river.
During my residence in the Amazon district I took every opportunity of determining the limits of species, and I soon found that the Amazon, the Rio Negro and the Madeira formed the limits beyond which certain species never passed. The native hunters are perfectly acquainted with this fact, and always cross over the river when they want to procure particular animals, which are found even on the ...
متن کاملCarbamoyl phosphate synthetase: a tunnel runs through it.
The direct transfer of metabolites from one protein to another in a biochemical pathway or between one active site and another within a single enzyme has been described as substrate channeling. The first structural visualization of such a phenomenon was provided by the X-ray crystallographic analysis of tryptophan synthase, in which a tunnel of approximately 25 A in length was observed. The rec...
متن کاملPartitioning a Large Simulation as It Runs
As computer simulations continue to grow in size and complexity, they present a particularly challenging class of big data problems. Many application areas are moving toward exascale computing systems, systems that perform 1018 FLOPS (FLoatingpoint Operations Per Second) — a billion billion calculations per second. Simulations 1 ar X iv :1 40 9. 09 09 v2 [ st at .M E ] 2 3 Se p 20 15 at this sc...
متن کاملProtection against a malaria challenge by sporozoite inoculation.
BACKGROUND An effective vaccine for malaria is urgently needed. Naturally acquired immunity to malaria develops slowly, and induction of protection in humans can be achieved artificially by the inoculation of radiation-attenuated sporozoites by means of more than 1000 infective mosquito bites. METHODS We exposed 15 healthy volunteers--with 10 assigned to a vaccine group and 5 assigned to a co...
