Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial NAD+-dependent malic enzyme from Anopheles stephensi: A possible novel target for malaria mosquito control
TL;DR: The biochemical characterization of Anopheles stephensi ME is of critical relevance given its important role in bioenergetics, suggesting that it is a suitable target for insecticide development.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 Impact on Malaria Transmission: A Complex and Relevant Global Health Concern.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized evidence surrounding gametocyte production in Plasmodium falciparum and the development factors and the consequential impact that HIV-1 has on malaria parasite transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium falciparum DHFR and DHPS Mutations Are Associated With HIV-1 Co-Infection and a Novel DHPS Mutation I504T Is Identified in Western Kenya.

TL;DR: Adult Kenyans newly diagnosed with HIV-1 infection were predominantly infected with moderately resistant P. falciparum, with patterns of infecting parasite genotypes significantly associated with HIV -1 status, indicating that antifolate resistance continues to evolve in Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria-induced bacteremia as a consequence of multiple parasite survival strategies
TL;DR: Parasites dampen cytotoxic/antiparasitic responses by inducing Th2-type responses by manipulating the mammalian immune response to facilitate survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thymic Epithelial Cell-Derived IL-15 and IL-15 Receptor α Chain Foster Local Environment for Type 1 Innate Like T Cell Development
Huishan Tao,Lei Li,Nan-Shih Liao,Kimberly S. Schluns,Shirley Luckhart,John W. Sleasman,Xiao-Ping Zhong +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that tissue-restricted antigens (TRAs) in thymic epithelial cells (TECs) ensure negative selection of highly self-reactive T cells to establish central tolerance.
