Plasmodium research paper

Given that all malaria parasites are digenetic, the life cycle of P. falciparum will be used to describe the general life cycle of plasmodium in this section. According to research studies, the survival and development of plasmodium through all the life cycle processes made possible by well over 5,000 genes and associated proteins.

Plasmodium knowlesi is a species of malaria parasite found in wild macaque populations which is now the main cause of human malaria in Malaysian Borneo. Spread from macaques to people through infected mosquitoes, human P. knowlesi malaria cases have primarily been reported in adult men working in forests or plantations.

Definition: What is Plasmodium? Plasmodium, commonly known as malaria parasites, may be described as a genus of intracellular parasitic protozoa. They are obligate parasites of insects (such as mosquitoes) and vertebrates and thus referred to as digenetic parasites. They require two different hosts in order to complete their life cycle.

Plasmodium was quantified by qPCR 10 days after DMFAs, and a strong negative correlation was apparent between Microsporidia MB and the presence of Plasmodium in whole mosquitoes (Supplementary Fig. 3 ).
