… The transcription profile of these stages was compared through a series of pairwise
hybridizations to a P. berghei genome survey sequence (GSS) amplicon DNA microarray (4). …

Species of malaria parasites that infect rodents provide models for the study of the biology of
malaria parasites that infect humans. In this article, Chris Janse and Andy Waters describe …

Eukaryotic microbial pathogens are major contributors to illness and death globally. Although
much of their impact can be controlled by drug therapy as with prokaryotic microorganisms, …

Species of malaria parasite that infect rodents have long been used as models for malaria
disease research. Here we report the whole-genome shotgun sequence of one species, …

The annotated genomes of organisms define a ‘blueprint’ of their possible gene products.
Post-genome analyses attempt to confirm and modify the annotation and impose a sense of …

Anopheles mosquitoes are major vectors of human malaria in Africa. Large variation exists
in the ability of mosquitoes to serve as vectors and to transmit malaria parasites, but the …

This protocol describes a method of genetic transformation for the rodent malaria parasite
Plasmodium berghei with a high transfection efficiency of 10 −3 –10 −4 . It provides methods …

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a well-established reporter protein for the examination of
biological processes. This report describes a recombinant Plasmodium berghei, PbGFP …

The use of transfection in the study of the biology of malaria parasites has been limited due
to poor transfection efficiencies (frequency of 10 −6 to 10 −9 ) and a paucity of selection …

Translational repression of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) plays an important role in sexual
differentiation and gametogenesis in multicellular eukaryotes. Translational repression and …
