SCD is an inheritable condition that affects the shape and function of RBCs, while malaria is an infectious condition where Plasmodium parasites replicate within RBCs.

The QIAprep&amp Plasmodium Kit simplifies malaria research by enabling the detection of all five Plasmodium species in human samples.

The plasmodium of the slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large amoeba-like cell consisting of a dendritic network of tube-like structures (pseudopodia). It changes its shape as it crawls over ...

A new, comprehensive map of all the genes essential for blood infections in Plasmodium knowlesi (P. knowlesi), a parasite that causes malaria in humans, has been generated. The map contains the ...

The moving plasmodium leaves behind a trail of translucent slime, consisting of proteins and sugars. Together with Audrey Dussutour from the CNRS in France, Reid found that Physarum strongly ...

Several new malaria drugs under development share a common feature: they promote an influx of sodium ions into Plasmodium parasites that have invaded red blood cells and multiply there. A study ...

Fascinatingly, Plasmodium have a sneaky strategy for avoiding capture up their sleeves. They cloak themselves in red blood cells, creating flower-shaped shields to invade the body in stealth mode, ...

Plasmodium Ovale is not a very common type of malaria that has been identified in a soldier in Kerala. What is Plasmodium Ovale? Let us study in detail including various kinds of malarial parasites.

Understanding calcium homeostasis in Plasmodium falciparum is important because increased levels of Ca2+ may signal important infection events such as invasion or gene expression.

Plasmodium vivax poses a particular challenge to malaria control because it can lie dormant in the liver and cause relapses weeks or months after the initial infection.

Comprehensive genetic mapping of Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite that causes malaria, has revealed the genes required for malaria infection of the blood, and those driving drug resistance ...
