#Plasmodium #parasites have a pair of organelles called rhoptries, made anew every replicative cycle. @davidanaguano @MuralidharanLab &co show that RON11 triggers biogenesis of the second #rhoptry and is important for #erythrocyte invasion #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3XQeiqY

The #malaria parasite #Plasmodium undergoes a unique #endomitosis during male gametogenesis. @Zeeshan_M @RitaTewari &co show that NEK1 kinase is vital for MTOC function & chromosome segregation, facilitating rapid endomitosis in Plasmodium #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4e4MzJ3

How an anti-hero of the #ImmuneSystem protects from malaria https://blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2024/07/07/how-an-anti-hero-of-the-immune-system-protects-from-malaria/
#Autoantibodies inhibit #Plasmodium falciparum growth and are associated with protection from clinical #malaria https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1074761324002784
"Malarial #disease and #autoimmune disease share a strange relationship. Both are best avoided, however when one is infected with the Plasmodium parasite it may be beneficial to have a propensity for autoimmunity."

'By employing a metabolic compartmentalization approach, we observed enhanced glycolysis and accumulation of the TCA-cycle derivative itaconate in splenic monocyte-derived dendritic cells from Plasmodium chabaudi (Pc)-infected mice.'

Why do the #malaria parasite's #merozoite surface proteins #MSPs have exactly 2 deeply-diverged lineages? Genomic analysis of #Plasmodium DBLMSP & DBLMSP2 reveals the evolutionary explanation to this long-standing puzzle @bricoletc @ZaminIqbal #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3TC8WOl

"Overall, these data demonstrate that IL-15C treatment, via its induction of IL-10 from NK cells, modulates the dysregulated inflammation during Plasmodium infection to promote Tfh differentiation & Ab generation, correlating with improved survival from reinfection."

So proud of this article about malaria that we wrote specifically for kids.
It's the result of a great collaboration with people from three different continents, including Africa!
The fantastic illustrations in the article (figures 1-4) were made by John Heim ([email protected]).

'The extrinsic incubation period (EIP), defined as the time it takes for malaria parasites in a mosquito to become infectious to a vertebrate host, is one of the most influential parameters for malaria transmission but remains poorly understood.'

Guten Morgen! Was war gestern schön was hat euch gefreut? Es sind die kleinen Dinge die zählen. Wenn ihr mögt, lasst eure #diekleinendinge hier.
Hier: Das Weißgelbe Netzpolster lebt auf vermoderndem Holz, auf Nadelstreu oder Blättern, wo es Bakterien jagt. Als Schleimpilz ist es kein Pilze sondern gehört zu den Amoebozoa. Schleimpilze sind also mit Pilzen in etwa so nahe verwandt wie wir mit Pflanzen. #schleimpilz #myxomycete #ceratiomyxafruticulosa #biodiversity #amoebozoa #plasmodium

"There are around 200 species of malaria parasite that can infect mammals, birds and reptiles. P. vivax is the most widely distributed form of malaria parasite in humans, and it is dominant in the Western Pacific and in highly populated areas of Latin America and Asia."

Pour la première fois depuis 20 ans, 8 cas autochtones de #paludisme à #Plasmodium vivax ont été détectés en 2023 aux USA 🇺🇸 : 7 en Floride et 1 au Texas.
Cette réémergence du paludisme serait-elle possible en France 🇫🇷 ?
Aucune transmission autochtone de paludisme n’a été observée en France Métropolitaine depuis les années 1972… A l’exception d’un cas autochtone de paludisme à Plasmodium vivax en Corse en 2006. 1/4 -

Malaria on a chip.
'A functional, multi-organ, serum-free system was developed for the culture of P. falciparum in an attempt to establish innovative platforms for therapeutic drug development. It contains 4 human organ constructs including hepatocytes, splenocytes, endothelial cells, as well as recirculating red blood cells which allow for infection with the parasite. '

Five cases of locally acquired #malaria ( #Plasmodium vivax) in the 🇺🇸 (TX & FL). These are the first such cases recorded in 20 years.
Quote: “…a changing #climate and shifting weather patterns increasingly drive #mosquito migration into new places worldwide, allowing malaria to settle in where it hasn’t before.”
