Long-term storage limits PCR-based analyses of malaria parasites in archival dried blood spots. per Hwang, J, Jaroensuk, J, Leimanis, M, Russell, B, McGready, R, Day, N, Snounou, G, Nosten, F, Imwong, M

“…BACKGROUND: Blood samples collected in epidemiological and clinical investigations and then stored, often at room temperature, as blood spots dried on a filter paper have become one of the most popular source of material for further molecular analyses of malaria parasites. The dried blood spots are often archived so that they can be used for further retrospective investigations of parasite prevalence, or as new genetic markers come to the fore. …”

“…What genes determine in vitro growth and nutrient utilization in asexual blood-stage malaria parasites? Competition experiments between NF54, clone 3D7, a lab-adapted African parasite, and a recently isolated Asian parasite (NHP4026) reveal contrasting outcomes in different media: 3D7 outcompetes NHP4026 in media containing human serum, while NHP4026 outcompetes 3D7 in media containing AlbuMAX, a commercial lipid-rich bovine serum formulation. …”

A putative homologue of CDC20/CDH1 in the malaria parasite is essential for male gamete development per Guttery, D, Ferguson, D, Poulin, B, Xu, Z, Straschil, U, Klop, O, Solyakov, L, Sandrini, S, Brady, D, Nieduszynski, C, Janse, C, Holder, A, Tobin, AB, Tewari, R

“…Two major regulators are cell-division cycle protein 20 (CDC20) and its homologue, CDC20 homologue 1 (CDH1), which activate the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) in mitosis, and facilitate degradation of mitotic APC/C substrates. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium, is a haploid organism which, during its life-cycle undergoes two stages of mitosis; one associated with asexual multiplication and the other with male gametogenesis. …”

Comparative folate metabolism in humans and malaria parasites (part II): activities as yet untargeted or specific to Plasmodium. per Nzila, A, Ward, SA, Marsh, K, Sims, P, Hyde, J

“…The folate pathway represents a powerful target for combating rapidly dividing systems such as cancer cells, bacteria and malaria parasites. Whereas folate metabolism in mammalian cells and bacteria has been studied extensively, it is understood less well in malaria parasites. …”

Reconstitution of the core of the malaria parasite glideosome with recombinant Plasmodium class XIV myosin A and Plasmodium actin per Bookwalter, CS, Tay, CL, McCrorie, R, Previs, MJ, Lu, H, Krementsova, EB, Fagnant, PM, Baum, J, Trybus, KM

“…Motility of the apicomplexan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is enabled by a multiprotein glideosome complex, whose core is the class XIV myosin motor, PfMyoA, and a divergent Plasmodium actin (PfAct1). …”

Pooled sequencing and rare variant association tests for identifying the determinants of emerging drug resistance in malaria parasites. per Cheeseman, I, McDew-White, M, Phyo, A, Sriprawat, K, Nosten, F, Anderson, T

“…We explored the potential of pooled sequencing to swiftly and economically identify selective sweeps due to emerging artemisinin (ART) resistance in a South-East Asian malaria parasite population. ART resistance is defined by slow parasite clearance from the blood of ART-treated patients and mutations in the kelch gene (chr. 13) have been strongly implicated to play a role. …”
