Malaria Virulence Genes Controlling Expressionthrough Chromatin Modification
Mutually exclusive expression within the var gene family of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is important for parasite survival and virulence. In this issue of Cell, Duraisingh et al. and Freitas-Junior et al. provide evidence for the role of Sir2-dependent alterations in chromatin structure and changes in subnuclear chromatin localization in regulating var gene expression (Duraisingh...
متن کاملMosquito larval source management for controlling malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is an important cause of illness and death in people living in many parts of the world, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) reduce malaria transmission by targeting the adult mosquito vector and are key components of malaria control programmes. However, mosquito numbers may also be reduced by larv...
متن کاملSuccessfully controlling malaria in South Africa.
Following major successes in malaria control over the past 75 years, South Africa is now embarking on a malaria elimination campaign with the goal of zero local transmission by the year 2018. The key control elements have been intensive vector control, primarily through indoor residual spraying, case management based on parasitological diagnosis using evidence-based drug policies with artemisin...
متن کاملMixture for Controlling Insecticide-Resistant Malaria Vectors
The spread of resistance to pyrethroids in the major Afrotropical malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae s.s. necessitates the development of new strategies to control resistant mosquito populations. To test the efficacy of nets treated with repellent and insecticide against susceptible and insecticide-resistant An. gambiae mosquito populations, we impregnated mosquito bed nets with an insect repell...
