MetabolomicsA female gametocyte-specific ABC transporter plays a role in lipid metabolism in the malaria parasite
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters serve a variety of physiological functions as well as play key roles in drug resistance. The genome of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, encodes multiple members of this family, one of which, gABCG2, is transcribed predominantly in the gametoc...

MetabolomicsComparative Analysis of Host Metabolic Alterations in Murine Malaria Models with Uncomplicated or Severe Malaria

Malaria varies in severity, with complications ranging from uncomplicated to severe malaria. Severe malaria could be attributed to peripheral hyperparasitemia or cerebral malaria. The metabolic interactions between the host and Plasmodium species are yet to be understood during these inf...

TranscriptomicsThe Variantome of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
We compared transcript levels at several points along the asexual blood cycle between 21 P. falciparum lines. These 21 parasite lines are organized in 4 sets of parasite lines, with all parasite lines within a set sharing a clonal origin. We compared transcript levels within each set. We also perfor...

MetabolomicsTowards improving point-of-care diagnosis of non-malaria febrile illness: a metabolomics approach
Background: Non-malaria febrile illnesses such as bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) are a leading cause of disease and mortality in the tropics. However, there are no reliable, simple diagnostic tests for identifying BSI or other severe non-malaria febrile illnesses. We hypothesized that differ...

MetabolomicsSusceptibility to febrile malaria is associated with an inflammatory gut microbiome

Malaria is a major public health problem, but many of the factors underlying the pathogenesis of this disease are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate in Malian children that susceptibility to febrile malaria following infection with Plasmodium falciparum is associated with the comp...

TranscriptomicsCharacterization of human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum eIF4E homologue and mRNA 5′ cap status
The mRNA 5′ cap is normally essential for eukaryotic mRNA translation, stabilization and transport and both the cap and eIF4E are important elements of post-transcriptional gene regulation. To further our understanding of mRNA translation in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, we hav...

TranscriptomicsBulk RNA-seq of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 cultured under different iron conditions
Background: Host iron deficiency is protective against severe malaria as the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum depends on free iron from its host to proliferate. Due to the absence of transferrin, ferritin, ferroportin, and a functional heme oxygenase, the parasite’s essential pathways of...

MetabolomicsPantothenate biosynthesis is critical for chronic infection by the neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii
Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential molecule acting in metabolism, post-translational modification, and regulation of gene expression. While all organisms synthesize CoA, many, including humans, are unable to produce its precursor, pantothenate. Intriguingly, like most plants, fungi and bacteria, paras...

TranscriptomicsNatural anitsense transcripts in Plasmodium vivax clinical isolates
Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread human malaria parasite causing approximately 130-435 million infections annually. It is an economic burden in many parts of the world and poses a public health challenge along with the other Plasmodium sp. The biology of this parasite is very li...

MetabolomicsMaternal lipid mobilization is essential for embryonic development in a key malaria vector
Lipid metabolism is an essential component in reproductive physiology. While lipid mobilization has been implicated in the growth of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites in their Anopheles vectors, the role of this process in the reproductive biology of these mosquitoes remains elusive. Here, we ...
