Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and distribution of avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites in captive birds from a Brazilian megalopolis
Carolina Romeiro Fernandes Chagas,Gediminas Valkiūnas,Lilian de Oliveira Guimarães,Eliana Ferreira Monteiro,Fernanda Junqueira Vaz Guida,Roseli França Simões,Priscila T. Rodrigues,Expedito José de Albuquerque Luna,Karin Kirchgatter +8 more
TL;DR: It is difficult to stop haemosporidian parasite transmission in zoos, but it is possible to reduce the infection rate by treating the infected animals or/and while keeping them in facilities free from mosquitoes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium vivax diversity and population structure across four continents
Cristian Koepfli,Priscila T. Rodrigues,Tiago Antao,Pamela Orjuela-Sánchez,Peter Van den Eede,Dionicia Gamboa,Nguyen Van Hong,Jorge Bendezu,Annette Erhart,Céline Barnadas,Arsène Ratsimbasoa,Didier Menard,Carlo Severini,Michela Menegon,Bakri Y. M. Nour,Nadira D. Karunaweera,Ivo Mueller,Marcelo U. Ferreira,Ingrid Felger +18 more
TL;DR: Comparisons between P. vivax populations from four continents indicated that not only transmission intensity, but also geographical isolation affect diversity and population structure, however, the high effective population size results in slow changes of these parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human migration and the spread of malaria parasites to the New World.

Alves,Ana Maria Ribeiro de Castro Duarte,Crispim Cerutti-Junior,Julyana Cerqueira Buery,Cristiana Ferreira Alves de Brito,Julio César de Souza,Zelinda M. B.

TL;DR: Evidence of a significant contribution of African and South Asian lineages to present-day New World malaria parasites with additional P. vivax lineages appearing to originate from Melanesia that were putatively carried by the Australasian peoples who contributed genes to Native Americans is found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher microsatellite diversity in Plasmodium vivax than in sympatric Plasmodium falciparum populations in Pursat, Western Cambodia.
Pamela Orjuela-Sánchez,Juliana M. Sá,Michelle C.C. Brandi,Priscila T. Rodrigues,Melissa S. Bastos,Chanaki Amaratunga,Socheat Duong,Rick M. Fairhurst,Marcelo U. Ferreira +8 more
TL;DR: The higher microsatellite diversity found in P. vivax isolates, compared to sympatric P. falciparum isolate, does not necessarily result from local differences in transmission level and may reflect differences in population history between species or increased mutation rates in P Vivax.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strains used in whole organism Plasmodium falciparum vaccine trials differ in genome structure, sequence, and immunogenic potential

TL;DR: Tens of thousands of variants are identified between NF54 and the three heterologous strains, including SNPs, indels, and small structural variants that fall in regulatory and immunologically important regions, including transcription factors and pre-erythrocytic antigens that may be key for sporozoite vaccine-induced protection.
