Thus, the elaboration of a protocol for the in vitro cultivation of the erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum revolutionized research on this important parasite. (nature.com)
The development of a protocol for the routine continuous in vitro culture of Plasmodium falciparum in 1976 1 released malaria researcher from the reliance on in vivo observations. (nature.com)
From the 86 positive blood samples, 13 Plasmodium falciparum and 4 Plasmodium vivax were selected and underwent cloning and, subsequently, sequencing and the sequences were subjected to phylogenetic analysis using the neighbor-joining and maximum parsimony methods. (biomedcentral.com)

A comparison of P. vivax liver stage activity data with that of the P. cynomolgi blood, P. falciparum blood, and P. berghei liver stages reveals overlap in schizonticidal but not hypnozonticidal activity, indicating that the delivery of new radical curative agents killing P. vivax hypnozoites requires an independent and focused drug development test cascade. (ox.ac.uk)
Here, we conducted the first comparative study of the anti-malarial effects of both plant infusions in vitro against the asexual erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum and the pre-erythrocytic (i.e., liver) stages of various Plasmodium species. (bvsalud.org)

Notably, no syntenic IPIS2 ortholog exists in the Laverania Plasmodium species P. reichenowi or P. falciparum. (pberghei.eu)
Knowlesi3
Evolutionary relationships among Plasmodium species have been inferred from ribosomal RNA sequencing, and are summarized in the cladogram below: P. cynomolgi is the second-most studied malaria parasite of non-human primates after Plasmodium knowlesi, primarily due to its similarity to the human parasite P. vivax. (wikipedia.org)
Currently, of the simian Plasmodium species, Plasmodium knowlesi, P. cynomolgi, P. coatneyi, and P. inui have been reported to cause disease in humans. (cdc.gov)
Syntenic orthologs of IPIS2 are conserved across the Plasmodium clade and are expressed in P. vivax, P. knowlesi, P. malariae and P. cynomolgi. (pberghei.eu)
Stages6
Following careful assessment of various culture conditions, we describe here the robust continuous cultivation of the blood stages of P. cynomolgi lines derived from the Berok strain. (nature.com)
In humans and NHPs, P.vivax, P. ovale, and P. cynomolgi are currently known to produce hypnozoite liver stages in addition to the blood stages of the parasite. (cdc.gov)
Until such a test becomes widely available, infected NHPs should be treated using an antimalarial protocol that considers the potential for antimalarial resistance and the need to eliminate BOTH blood stages AND potential liver stages of Plasmodium . (cdc.gov)

Sporozoites1
In particular, the infusions significantly incapacitated sporozoites, and for Plasmodium vivax and P. cynomolgi, disrupted the hypnozoites. (bvsalud.org)
Genus4
P. cynomolgi is in the genus Plasmodium, which contains all Apicomplexan parasites that undergo asexual reproduction through schizogony and digest red blood cell hemoglobin to produce the crystalline pigment hemozoin. (wikipedia.org)
PCR or blood smears) that detect the presence of parasites in the Plasmodium genus, during the CDC-mandated quarantine period. (cdc.gov)
The genus Plasmodium consists of nearly 200 species that infect humans, birds, reptiles and mammals. (biomedcentral.com)
Unlike IBIS1, which appears to be exclusive to the rodent Plasmodium species, tryptophan-rich domain-containing proteins are found across the Plasmodium genus. (pberghei.eu)
Rhesus monkeys1
The effect of infection on primate hosts has primarily been studied in rhesus monkeys, where P. cynomolgi generally causes mild and self-limiting illness. (wikipedia.org)
Parasites8
Here, we define the conditions under which P. cynomolgi can be adapted to long term in vitro culture to yield parasites that share many of the morphological and phenotypic features of P. vivax . (nature.com)
We show that the in vitro-cultured P. cynomolgi (from ex vivo or cryopreserved stocks) retain the key characteristics that these parasites share with P. vivax . (nature.com)
Immunofluorescence analysis of hepatocytes infected with relapsing malaria parasites, in vitro ( P. cynomolgi ) and in vivo ( P. vivax ), reveals that LISP2 expression discriminates between dormant hypnozoites and early developing parasites. (elifesciences.org)
Due to concerns over the introduction of Plasmodium parasites that may cause malaria in humans, treatment to eliminate the infection will be required before infected animals are released from CDC-mandated quarantine. (cdc.gov)
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium species, which are protozoal blood parasites. (medscape.com)
This study was conducted to investigate the distribution of the Plasmodium species based on the molecular detection and to study the molecular phylogeny of these parasites. (biomedcentral.com)
Here, we show that in Plasmodium parasites, the NOT1 scaffold protein of the CAF1/CCR4/Not complex is duplicated, and one paralogue is dedicated for essential transmission functions. (bvsalud.org)
Moreover, this NOT1-G paralogue is central to the sex-specific functions previously associated with its interacting partners, as deletion of not1-g in Plasmodium yoelii leads to a comparable or complete arrest phenotype for both male and female parasites. (bvsalud.org)
Infections3
P. cynomolgi , posing the risk of cross-species transmis- infections (Table 1). (cdc.gov)
land, P. cynomolgi infections are not uncommon ( 3 , 4 ). (cdc.gov)
All the reported infections in the region were due to Plasmodium vivax and about 80% infections were symptomomatic, while the rest was detected by microscopy diagnosis: this was less than 1/10,000 in recent years, but the traditional surveillance through passive case detection provides information which may be inadequate. (biomedcentral.com)
Species that infect1
Evolutionarily, P. cynomolgi is most closely related to the other Plasmodium species that infect monkeys, as well as P. vivax which infects humans. (wikipedia.org)
Hypnozoites2
Plasmodium vivax hypnozoites persist in the liver, cause malaria relapse and represent a major challenge to malaria elimination. (elifesciences.org)
AbstractImproved control of Plasmodium vivaxmalaria can be achieved with the discovery of new antimalarials with radical cure efficacy, including prevention of relapse caused by hypnozoites residing in the liver of patients. (ox.ac.uk)
Vitro3
However, such screening strategies are precluded for P. vivax because of the limited availability of infected blood from patients, an obstacle that would be circumvented should in vitro-cultured P. cynomolgi be available. (nature.com)
To better understand Plasmodium biology, researchers can whether proceed to in vitro studies or use in vivo models. (wjgnet.com)
Thanks to recent progresses, stem cells have been extensively employed to study Plasmodium liver and blood cycle in vitro . (wjgnet.com)
Simian3
Current evidence suggests that natural transmission is typically simian to human by a mosquito vector, but transmission of P. cynomolgi from human to human by a mosquito vector has also been shown in laboratory experiments. (wikipedia.org)
The protocol considers what is currently known about the biological behavior of Plasmodium species (including simian species), presence of vector species in the U.S., potential for drug resistance, zoonotic potential, and availability of validated tests. (cdc.gov)
Unfortunately, a validated diagnostic test to speciate both human and simian Plasmodium isn't currently readily available. (cdc.gov)
Strains1
In addition, malaria strains, genetic polymorphism and the molecular phylogeny of Yemen Plasmodium isolates will be studied. (biomedcentral.com)
Laverania1
Within Plasmodium, P. cynomolgi is in the subgenus Plasmodium, containing all species of Plasmodium that infect primates (except for some that infect the Great Apes, which are in the subgenus Laverania). (wikipedia.org)
Monkeys5
Plasmodium cynomolgi is an apicomplexan parasite that infects mosquitoes and Asian Old World monkeys. (wikipedia.org)
Like other Plasmodium species, P. cynomolgi infects both an insect host and a vertebrate (generally Old World monkeys). (wikipedia.org)
P. cynomolgi is found throughout Southeast Asia where it naturally infects a variety of macaque monkeys, including Macaca cyclopis, Macaca fascicularis, Macaca mulatta, Macaca nemestrina, Macaca radiata, Macaca sinica, Trachypithecus cristatus, and Semnopithecus entellus. (wikipedia.org)
The exception to this is in pregnant monkeys, where P. cynomolgi infection can be severe, resulting in death of the mother and fetus without antimalarial treatment. (wikipedia.org)
P. cynomolgi (Pc) is a malaria parasite that infects non-human primate species with the natural mammalian host being Asian Old World monkeys. (guidetomalariapharmacology.org)
Giemsa1
Similar to P. vivax, P. cynomolgi infection changes the red blood cell membrane structure, causing surface perturbations that appear as pink dots (called Schüffner's dots) when stained with Giemsa. (wikipedia.org)
Hepatocyte2
Under a magnification of 125X, this photomicrograph of a rhesus monkey liver tissue specimen, revealed the presence of an enlarged hepatocyte (arrow), which had been infected by the parasitic organism, Plasmodium cynomolgi . (cdc.gov)
The interior of the hepatocyte, which is better visualized under a higher magnification in PHIL 22990, was occupied by numerous P. cynomolgi merozoites. (cdc.gov)
Protein3
Immune response genes of Anopheles mosquitoes such as Leucin-Rich protein (LRIM1), inhibit Plasmodium SPZ development (sporogony) in mosquitoes by supporting melanization and phagocytosis of ookinetes. (bvsalud.org)
In this study the protein was identified by co-precipitation with exported Plasmodium proteins present in membrane structures (Maurer's cleft-like) in the cytoplasm of the infected red blood cell. (pberghei.eu)
The protein does not have predicted secretion or export signals, but do have a tryptophan-threonine rich domain (PF12319) that is conserved in several proteins across Plasmodium species. (pberghei.eu)
Infection4
Infection of humans with P. cynomolgi was once thought to be exceedingly rare. (wikipedia.org)
If importers choose to screen apparently healthy animals for Plasmodium infection during the quarantine period, positive results must be reported to CDC. (cdc.gov)
Although testing apparently healthy animals for Plasmodium infection during quarantine is optional, importers are reminded that NHPs that develop clinical signs of malaria during quarantine MUST undergo appropriate diagnostic testing to identify the cause of illness. (cdc.gov)
If an NHP is identified as having a Plasmodium infection, ideally the species of the parasite should be identified to guide treatment decisions. (cdc.gov)
Protocol1
CDC has developed a protocol for treating NHPs identified to be infected with Plasmodium during quarantine. (cdc.gov)
Biological2
This species has been used as a model for human Plasmodium vivax because Plasmodium cynomolgi shares the same life cycle and some important biological features with P. vivax. (wikipedia.org)
Given the regular and onerous use of P. cynomolgi in macaques for biological and drug discovery programmes, it was surprising that these early observations were not exploited further. (nature.com)

P. cynomolgi closely resembles the human parasite P. vivax throughout its life cycle. (wikipedia.org)
We show that, consistent with its role in other eukaryotes, PyNOT1-G localizes to cytosolic puncta throughout much of the Plasmodium life cycle. (bvsalud.org)
Found1
Using microscopy, we found gesting P. cynomolgi is widespread in this country. (cdc.gov)
