Detection of naturally acquired, strain-transcending antibodies against rosetting Plasmodium falciparum strains in humans

The paper demonstrates the presence of strain-transcending antibodies against rosetting Plasmodium falciparum strains in humans using flow cytometry and antibody elution experiments.

Associations between the Plasmodium falciparum genome and sickle haemoglobin identified in mild malaria cases from Ghana

The paper identifies a new P. falciparum locus associated with sickle haemoglobin in mild malaria cases from Ghana, replicating previous findings and suggesting further research is needed.

Genomic variation during culture-adaptation of genetically complex Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates

The paper analyzes genomic variation in Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates during culture adaptation, finding that some isolates fix to single genotypes while others retain diversity, with loss-of-function mutants emerging in multiple-genotype infections.

Transcriptome analysis of diverse Plasmodium falciparum clinical isolates identifies genes correlating with highly variable expression of merozoite surface protein MSPDBL2

The paper analyzes transcriptomes of Plasmodium falciparum isolates to identify genes correlated with variable MSPDBL2 expression in schizonts.

Variation in Plasmodium falciparum sexual commitment rates and responses to environmental modification

This study measures sexual commitment rates in Plasmodium falciparum using two methods, finds higher sensitivity with an early marker, and reports variation across isolates and lab lines.

Intrinsic multiplication rate variation and plasticity of human blood stage malaria parasites

The paper shows that variation in the multiplication rate of Plasmodium falciparum correlates with infection intensity and virulence in human malaria.

Blood donor variability is a modulatory factor for P. falciparum invasion phenotyping assays

This study investigates how blood donor variability affects P. falciparum invasion phenotyping assays by analyzing erythrocyte surface receptors, blood groups, and hemoglobin genotypes.

Plasmodium falciparum schizont stage transcriptome variation among clinical isolates and laboratory-adapted clones

The paper analyzes transcriptome variation in Plasmodium falciparum schizonts across clinical isolates and lab-adapted clones using RNA-seq, identifying genes with differential expression and validating findings with RT-qPCR.
