Malaria has been a major global health problem of humans through history and is a leading
cause of death and disease across many tropical and subtropical countries. Over the last …

Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum are important human pathogens. These
parasites and many of their apicomplexan relatives undergo a complex developmental …

Abstract PlasmoDB (http://PlasmoDB. org) is a functional genomic database for Plasmodium
spp. that provides a resource for data analysis and visualization in a gene-by-gene or …

Clonally variant expression of surface antigens allows the malaria parasite Plasmodium
falciparum to evade immune recognition during blood stage infection and secure malaria …

The persistence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during blood stage
proliferation in its host depends on the successive expression of variant molecules at the …

The variant antigen Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1),
which is expressed on the surface of P. falciparum-infected red blood cells, is a critical …

The asexual forms of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum are adapted for chronic
persistence in human red blood cells, continuously evading host immunity using …

Numerous studies of the mammalian immune system have begun to uncover profound
interrelationships, as well as fundamental differences, between the adaptive and innate …

The complex relationships between infectious organisms and their hosts often reflect the
continuing struggle of the pathogen to proliferate and spread to new hosts, and the need of …

Clonally variant gene families underlie phenotypic plasticity in Plasmodium falciparum, a
process indispensable for survival of the pathogen in its human host. Differential …
