Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting Malaria Virulence and Remodeling Proteins to the Host Erythrocyte

TL;DR: It is shown that a conserved pentameric sequence plays a central role in protein export into the host cell and the exported proteome in Plasmodium falciparum is predicted, with implications for the development of new antimalarials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lineage-specific expansion of proteins exported to erythrocytes in malaria parasites

TL;DR: Data suggest radiation of genes encoding remodeling and virulence factors from a small number of loci in a common Plasmodium ancestor, and imply a closer phylogenetic relationship between the P. vivax and P. falciparum lineages than previously believed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the simian and human malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi

TL;DR: This is the first monkey malaria parasite genome to be described, and it provides an opportunity for comparison with the recently completed P. vivax genome and other sequenced Plasmodium genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malaria-Infected Erythrocyte-Derived Microvesicles Mediate Cellular Communication within the Parasite Population and with the Host Immune System

TL;DR: RMVs demonstrate potent immunomodulatory properties on human primary macrophages and neutrophils and stimulate production of transmission stage parasites in a dose-dependent manner, which mediate cellular communication within the parasite population and with the host innate immune system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion and apicoplast during the asexual life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum

TL;DR: The morphology of three organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, apicoplast and mitochondrion) through the human blood stages of the parasite life cycle is described using fluorescent reporter proteins fused to organelle targeting sequences.
