BMC Structural Biology | Abstract | Crystal structures from the Plasmodium peroxiredoxins: new insights into oligomerization and product binding
biomedcentral.com — “Plasmodium falciparum is the protozoan parasite primarily responsible for more than a million malarial deaths, annually, and is developing resistance to current therapies. Throughout its lifespan, the parasite is subjected to oxidative attack, so Plasmodium antioxidant defences are essential for its survival and are targets for disease control.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

Genetics study boosts search for better ways to treat human African trypanosomiasis | Wellcome Trust
wellcome.ac.uk — “The findings of a genetic screening study reported in 'Nature' have identified how the parasite that causes human African trypanosomiasis interacts with the drugs currently used to treat the disease. The team, led by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), hopes the results will eventually lead to better treatments.” View full resource at wellcome.ac.uk

Scientists characterize protein essential to survival of malaria parasite
sciencedaily.com — “A biology lab has successfully cracked the structure of an enzyme made by Plasmodium falciparum, the parasitical protozoan that causes the most lethal form of malaria. Plasmodium cannot live without the enzyme, which is uses to make cell membrane. Because people don't make this enzyme, it is an ideal target for an anti-malarial drug. Such a drug might kill Plasmodium but have minimal side effects for people.” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Scientists discover Leishmania parasite with juggling chromosomes
news-medical.net — “Scientists found a deadly parasite with some of its chromosomes in duplicate, others in triplicate, while still others are present four or even five times. Moreover, the copy number varies between individuals. Such a bizarre occurrence has never before been found in nature, in any organism. As a rule, chromosomes should come in couples. The scientists, from the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITG) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, made the striking discovery while deciphering the genetic ” View full resource at news-medical.net
