Evidence for differences in erythrocyte surface receptors for the malarial parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium knowlesi
Human erythrocytes lacking various blood group determinants were susceptible to invasion by Plasmodium falciparum including Duffy-negative erythrocytes that are refractory to invasion by Plasmodium knowlesi. Erythrocytes treated with trypsin or neuraminidase had reduced susceptibility of P. falciparum and normal susceptibility to P. knowlesi. Chymotrypsin treatment (0.1 mg/ml) blocked invasion ...
متن کاملImputation-Based Population Genetics Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Parasites
Whole-genome sequencing technologies are being increasingly applied to Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates to identify genetic determinants of malaria pathogenesis. However, genome-wide discovery methods, such as haplotype scans for signatures of natural selection, are hindered by missing genotypes in sequence data. Poor correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P. f...

متن کاملanalysis of plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 gene sequences
the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...
متن کاملChloroquine-Resistant Haplotype Plasmodium falciparum Parasites, Haiti
Plasmodium falciparum parasites have been endemic to Haiti for >40 years without evidence of chloroquine (CQ) resistance. In 2006 and 2007, we obtained blood smears for rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and filter paper blots of blood from 821 persons by passive and active case detection. P. falciparum infections diagnosed for 79 persons by blood smear or RDT were confirmed by PCR for the small sub...
