Abstract Background The Alere™ Malaria Ag P.f Ultra-sensitive RDT (UsmRDT) kit is an HRP2-based malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) with enhanced sensitivity relative to the SD Bioline Malaria Ag P.f RDT (mRDT) kit. However, the diagnostic performa

Malaria gametocytes are sexual-stage parasites transmitted from mammalian host’s blood back to their insect vector. Here, Prajapati et al. identify gametocyte-committed ring-stage biomarkers allowing to forecast malaria transmission potential.

Abstract Background Red blood cell (RBC) polymorphisms are suggested to influence the course of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Whereas some variants have been found to be protective, others have been found to enhance parasite development. This study

Abstract Background The ABO and the Rhesus blood group systems, as well as various abnormal haemoglobin (Hb) variants (haemoglobinopathies) are known to influence malaria parasite carriage and disease severity in individuals living in malaria endemic

Abstract Background Asymptomatic carriage of Plasmodium falciparum is widespread in adults and children living in malaria-endemic countries. This study identified the prevalence of malaria parasites and the corresponding levels of naturally acquired

A clear understanding of the properties of naturally induced antibody responses against transmission-blocking vaccine candidates can accelerate the understanding of the development of transmission-blocking immunity. This study characterized the natur

Here, the authors quantify early gametocyte-committed ring (gc-ring) stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites in 260 malaria patients 10 days before maturation to transmissible stage V gametocytes, and show that the ratio of circulating gc-rings is posi

Abstract Background During a Plasmodium infection, exposure of human host immune cells to both the asexual and the sexual stages of the parasite elicit immune responses. These responses may be protective and prevent the development of high parasitaem
