Intensive trapping of blood-fed Anopheles darlingi in Amazonian Peru reveals unexpectedly high proportions of avian blood-meals
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Anopheles darlingi, the main malaria vector in the Neotropics, has been considered to be highly anthropophilic. However, many behavioral aspects of this species remain unknown, such as the range of blood-meal sources. ...
Monitoring the parasite load in chronic Chagas disease patients: comparison between blood culture and quantitative real time PCR
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Haemosporidian parasites prevalence associated with physical conditioning of avian species from the Brazilian Cerrado
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 2022)
An inverse latitudinal gradient in infection probability and phylogenetic diversity for Leucocytozoon blood parasites in New World birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-02)
Geographic variation in environmental conditions as well as host traits that promote parasite transmission may impact infection rates and community assembly of vector-transmitted parasites. Identifying the ecological, ...
Eosinophilic inflammation in lymph nodes of dogs with visceral leishmaniasis
(2018-08-01)
Eosinophils are traditionally associated with the immune response against helminth parasites. However, several studies have demonstrated that these cells have a role regarding protective immunity in leishmaniasis. Here, ...
Do blood parasites infect Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) in the wild? Prospective investigation and climatogeographic considerations
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-04)
Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) are native to Argentina, Chile and the Falkland Islands. Magellanic penguins are highly susceptible to blood parasites such as the mosquito-borne Plasmodium spp., which have ...
Plasmodium falciparum apicomplexan-specific glucosamine-6-phosphate n-acetyltransferase is key for amino sugar metabolism and asexual blood stage development
(2020-09-01)
UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), the main product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway, is an important metabolite in protozoan parasites since its sugar moiety is incorporated into glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) ...
Purinergic signalling is involved in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum invasion to red blood cells
(SPRINGER, 2010)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most important etiological agent of human malaria, is endowed with a highly complex cell cycle that is essential for its successful replication within the host. A number of evidence suggest that ...
