1. 1. Novel Therapy against Malaria Resistance using Meta-analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Adesola Oguntuyi; [2022]
   Keywords : Malaria; Novel Drug; Resistance; ACT;

   Abstract : Malaria causes severe illness and death in some cases if not treated on time. The most vulnerable people are children and pregnant women in areas where it is rampant. The causative agent of the most severe malaria is Plasmodium falciparum this parasite is transmitted by the female anopheles mosquito when infected with Plasmodium parasites. READ MORE

3. 2. Avian Malaria infection and its effect on cellular metabolic rate in Ficedula Flycatchers

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi

   Author : Nader Ibrahim; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Chronic avian malaria and low-intensity parasite infections can have a negative influence on reproduction and survival which can reduce the fitness of the host. Therefore, the effect on host due to avian malaria infection can affect a bird’s lifespan. Consequently, avian parasites can influence evolution, physiology, and host morphology. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterisation of structure and stability differences between the C-lobes of human and P. falciparum calmodulin in the presence of calmidazolium

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Igor Blagojevic; Klara Enockson; Marcus Miras Landelius; Ylva Strid Holmertz; Emelie Weinesson; Emma Örnelöw; [2022]
   Keywords : Calmodulin; Calmidazolium; Plasmodium falciparum; Malaria; Fluorescence spectroscopy; UV spectroscopy; CD; Circular dichroism; bioinformatics;

   Abstract : Malaria is a serious disease that can lead to fatal consequences if not treated. It is mainly spread via Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite carried by mosquitoes as host organisms. As a potential way of treating malaria, research is being done on possible inhibitors of calmodulin (CaM) in the parasite. READ MORE

5. 4. Synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich complexes with salicylaldimine ligand derivatives

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Ujala Mahmud; [2021]
   Keywords : Malaria; Plasmodium; Ruthenium; Iridium; Rhodium; Inorganic chemistry; Chemistry;

   Abstract : New half-sandwich complexes of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium, iridium, and p-cymene-ruthenium have been synthesized and characterized. All metal complexes contain ligands based on a 4-chloroquinoline framework analogous to the antimalarial drug chloroquine. READ MORE

6. 5. Sequence Diversity andAntibody Response to Autologous and Heterologous MSP2 Antigens in a Prospective Malaria Immunology Cohort

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

   Author : Julia Zerebinski; [2021]
   Keywords : Malaria; sub-Saharan Africa; merozoite surface protein; antibody; immune response; antigen target;

   Abstract : Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted by mosquitoes, kills almost half a million people each year. Drug resistance in both the parasite and its vector make preventative measures increasingly important, and a fully protective vaccine is absolutely necessary to eradicate the disease. READ MORE
