A randomized feasibility trial comparing four antimalarial drug regimens to induce Plasmodium falciparum gametocytemia in the controlled human malaria infection model
Published 2018-02-01“…Methods: In a single centre, open-label randomised trial, healthy malaria-naive participants (aged 18–35 years) were infected with Plasmodium falciparum by bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Participants were randomly allocated to four different treatment arms (n = 4 per arm) comprising low-dose (LD) piperaquine (PIP) or sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), followed by a curative regimen upon recrudescence. …”

Screening of the Promising Direct Thrombin Inhibitors from Haematophagous Organisms. Part I: Recombinant Analogues and Their Antithrombotic Activity In Vitro
Published 2021-12-01“…This study deals with the comparison between hirudin-1 from <i>Hirudomedicinalis</i>(desirudin), being the first-known and most well-studied natural anticoagulant, along with recombinant analogs of haemadin from the leech <i>Haemadipsa sylvestris</i>, variegin from the tick <i>Amblyomma variegatum</i>, and anophelin from <i>Anopheles albimanus</i>. These polypeptides were chosen due to their high specificity and affinity for thrombin, as well as their distinctive inhibitory mechanisms. …”
