  2. 1. Genetic analysis of murine malaria

    Author : Susana Campino; Dan Holmberg; Nils Lycke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Malaria; genetic analysis; Plasmodium; wild derived inbred strains; loci; cerebral malaria; hyperparasitaemia.; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; genetik; Genetics;

    Abstract : Malaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, is one of the major world-scale health problems. Despite the efforts aimed at finding an effective way to control the disease, the success has been thwarted by the emergence of parasite drug resistance and mosquito resistance to insecticides.

  4. 2. Hemolin expression during Cecropia development and its effect on malaria parasites

    Author : Yohannes Assefaw-Redda; Ingrid Faya; Lage Cerenius; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik;

    Abstract : Hemolin is a lepidopteran member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, initially isolated from the giant silkmoth Hyalophora cecropia. Hemolin is also induced by stimulation with microbial cell wall components and was recently shown to be strongly upregulated by baculovirus and double stranded RNA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Intra-specific variation in avian malaria : Linking infection dynamics to haplotypes

    Author : Victor Kalbskopf; MEMEG; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; avian malaria; phyogenetics; population genetics; evolution;

    Abstract : Avian Malaria infects thousands of species of birds across the Aves class. The most widespread (geographically and phylogenetically)morphological species is Plasmodium relictum, and of that, the mitochondrial lineage of SGS1 is the most common and invasive. READ MORE

  6. 4. Host-parasite interactions in space and time

    Author : Franziska Hildebrandt; Johan Ankarklev; Volker T. Heussler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; liver-stage infection; Toxoplasma; host-parasite interactions; spatial transcriptomics; single-cell omics; single-cell Dual-seq; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : Unicellular parasites of the apicomplexan phylum have a considerable effect on global health and agriculture. Two prominent examples of this phylum include malaria causing parasites of the Plasmodium genus and the widely prevalent parasite Toxoplasma gondii. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dissecting the complexity of human susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum malaria: genetic approaches

    Author : Valentina D Mangano; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Marta Alarcon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunology; genetics; malaria; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : There are many aspects of the immunology of P. falciparum infection that are not understood. Genetic approaches are of great value for dissecting the complexity of immune responses to malaria in natura by providing new insights into molecular interactions between the parasite and the host.
