Malarial parasites accumulate labile zinc pools.
The malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is an intracellular pathogen and partially dependent on nutrient uptake for survival. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Marvin et al. demonstrate that zinc is essential for parasite growth and that the parasite maintains substantial labile cytosolic and mitochondrial zinc pools.
متن کاملStudies on Malarial Parasites
1. Methods have been described for the preparation and sterilization of a synthetic nutrient medium which supports normal growth during one 24 hour asexual cycle of the erythrocytic form of P. knowlesi. 2. Successive subcultures with good multiplication can be carried out when whole blood or plasma is added to the medium. Data are presented from two such experiments where the sixth and seventh ...
متن کامل584 Studies on Malarial Parasites
When Laveran (1) discovered living malarial parasites over 65 years ago in the blood of patients with certain fevers, a new era in the study of malaria was initiated. This discovery of malarial organisms and the subsequent experimental proof by a series of workers that they were the etiological agents of the disease failed, however, to lead to the immediate successful cultivation of the parasit...
متن کاملFree Malarial Parasites and the Effect of the Migration of the Parasites of Tertian Malarial Infections
1. The malarial parasite is extracellular throughout its life cycle and migrates from red corpuscle to red corpuscle destroying each before it abandons it; in the brief intervals between, the parasite is free in the blood serum; it does not remain long free, but almost immediately attaches itself to another red corpuscle by means of delicate pseudopodia. 2. The compact form of the tertian paras...
