Distinct Roles of Plasmodium Rhomboid 1 in Parasite Development and Malaria Pathogenesis
Invasion of host cells by the malaria parasite involves recognition and interaction with cell-surface receptors. A wide variety of parasite surface proteins participate in this process, most of which are specific to the parasite's particular invasive form. Upon entry, the parasite has to dissociate itself from the host-cell receptors. One mechanism by which it does so is by shedding its surface...
متن کاملThe Effects of Splenectomy on Pattern of Nitric Oxide Induction and Pathogenesis of Rodent Malaria Caused by Plasmodium berghei Infection
Background and Aims: The aim of this study is to clarify nitric oxide (NO)-production by spleen and the importance of spleen in malaria infection in murine model. Materials and Methods: Thirty outbred NMRI female mice were divided into four groups, Group I: No intervention (Healthy control), Group II: With splenectomy (Healthy test), Group III: No intervention, Inoculation of contaminated bloo...
متن کاملGenotype and phenotype of COVID-19: Their roles in pathogenesis
COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus with an outbreak of unusual viral pneumonia in Wuhan, China, and then pandemic. Based on its phylogenetic relationships and genomic structures the COVID-19 belongs to genera Betacoronavirus. Human Betacoronaviruses (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV) have many similarities, but also have differences in their genomic and phenotypic structure that can influence th...
متن کاملParasite virulence and disease patterns in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
Heterogeneity in parasite virulence is one of several factors that have been proposed to contribute to the wide spectrum of disease severity in Plasmodium falciparum malaria. We used observed age-structured patterns of disease to define a population structure of P. falciparum, where the latter contains several independently transmitted antigenic types or "strains" that each induce some degree o...
متن کاملPotent in vivo anti-malaria activity of Goniothalamin against rodent malaria parasite infection in mice
Goniothalamin was evaluated for its anti-malaria activity in-vivo, using the 4-Day Suppressive Test (Peters & Robinson, 1975). The test were carried out against two strains of rodent malaria parasites, the sensitive strain P. berghei ANKA (MRA 311) strain and the resistant strain P. yoelii (MRA 312). An Initial screening was carried out using a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight administered s...
