Unravelling the immune signature of Plasmodium falciparum transmission-reducing immunity
Infection with Plasmodium can elicit antibodies that inhibit parasite survival in the mosquito, when they are ingested in an infectious blood meal. Here, we determine the transmission-reducing activity (TRA) of naturally acquired antibodies from 648 malaria-exposed individuals using lab-based mosquito-feeding assays. Transmission inhibition is significantly associated with antibody responses to...
متن کاملTransmission and Control of Plasmodium knowlesi: A Mathematical Modelling Study
INTRODUCTION Plasmodium knowlesi is now recognised as a leading cause of malaria in Malaysia. As humans come into increasing contact with the reservoir host (long-tailed macaques) as a consequence of deforestation, assessing the potential for a shift from zoonotic to sustained P. knowlesi transmission between humans is critical. METHODS A multi-host, multi-site transmission model was develope...
متن کاملOptimal Control Strategy of Plasmodium vivax Malaria Transmission in Korea
OBJECTIVE To investigate the optimal control strategy for Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission in Korea. METHODS A Plasmodium vivax malaria transmission model with optimal control terms using a deterministic system of differential equations is presented, and analyzed mathematically and numerically. RESULTS If the cost of reducing the reproduction rate of the mosquito population is more tha...

متن کاملVirulence, drug sensitivity and transmission success in the rodent malaria, Plasmodium chabaudi
Here, we test the hypothesis that virulent malaria parasites are less susceptible to drug treatment than less virulent parasites. If true, drug treatment might promote the evolution of more virulent parasites (defined here as those doing more harm to hosts). Drug-resistance mechanisms that protect parasites through interactions with drug molecules at the sub-cellular level are well known. Howev...
