Characterising putative transporter proteins in apicomplexan parasites identifies one that is critical for Toxoplasma gondii invasion
Feeling hot in here: thermotolerance and drug sensitivity in malaria parasites
Roles of IgM in immunity to malaria in humans
A key mediator of protective immunity to malaria is antibodies that block merozoite invasion of the RBC.
Targeting host cell factors as a novel anti-malarial strategy
Malaria causes a significant health burden worldwide. An efficient vaccine has yet to be developed but a handful of treatment options exist.
New tools for malaria eradication: integrated packages for geospatial mapping, population-based sampling and high-sensitivity testing
Malaria elimination/ eradication has been a global policy for the past decade and has enabled some tremendous achievements.
Characterising a novel family of amino acid transporters in Toxoplasma gondii.
Apicomplexans are a phylum of unicellular eukaryotic parasites that cause a range of diseases in humans, including toxoplasmosis and malaria.
Piezo channels: tension, tethers and transduction
Mechanosensitive channels are fundamental molecular components of mechanosensory systems in all organisms.
