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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 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.

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 ...
