Our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms these 29 parasites use to invade and exploit hosts other than mice and primates is, however, extremely limited. 30 How do Plasmodium adapt to individual hosts and to the immune response of hosts throughout an 31 infection? To better understand parasite plasticity, and identify genes that are conserved across the 32 phylogeny, it is imperative that we characterize transcriptome-wide gene expression from non-model 33 malaria parasites in multiple host individuals.

However, several studies considered Haemoparasites it a synonym of the genera Plasmodium or Haemoproteus. Recently, molecular evidence has shown the existence Reptile of a monophyletic group that corresponds to the genus Haemocystidium. Here, we further explore the clade Simondia Haemocystidium spp. by studying parasites from Testudines. A total of 193 individuals belonging to six families of Chelonians Testudines were analyzed. The samples were collected in five localities in Colombia: Casanare, Vichada, Arauca, Colombia Antioquia, and Córdoba. From each individual, a blood sample was taken for molecular analysis, and peripheral blood smears were made, which were fixed and subsequently stained with Giemsa.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Host-parasite interactions between Plasmodium species and New Zealand birds: prevalence, parasite load and pathology A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Veterinary Science in Wildlife Health At Massey University, Palmerston North New Zealand © Danielle Charlotte Sijbranda 2015 ABSTRACT Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium spp., is an emerging disease in New Zealand and has been reported as a cause of morbidity and mortality in New Zealand bird populations. This research was initiated after P. (Haemamoeba) relictum lineage GRW4, a suspected highly pathogenic lineage of Plasmodium spp. was detected in a North Island robin of the Waimarino Forest in 2011. Using nested PCR (nPCR), the prevalence of Plasmodium lineages in the Waimarino Forest was evaluated by testing 222 birds of 14 bird species. Plasmodium sp. lineage LINN1, P. (Huffia) elongatum lineage GRW06 and P. (Novyella) sp. lineage SYATO5 were detected; Plasmodium relictum lineage GRW4 was not found. A real- time PCR (qPCR) protocol to quantify the level of parasitaemia of Plasmodium spp. in different bird species was trialled. The qPCR had a sensitivity and specificity of 96.7% and 98% respectively when compared to nPCR, and proved more sensitive in detecting low parasitaemias compared to the nPCR. The mean parasite load was significantly higher in introduced bird species compared to native and endemic species.

  • Plasmodium Asexual Growth and Sexual Development in the Haematopoietic Niche of the Host
    REVIEWS Plasmodium asexual growth and sexual development in the haematopoietic niche of the host Kannan Venugopal 1, Franziska Hentzschel1, Gediminas Valkiūnas2 and Matthias Marti 1* Abstract | Plasmodium spp. parasites are the causative agents of malaria in humans and animals, and they are exceptionally diverse in their morphology and life cycles. They grow and develop in a wide range of host environments, both within blood- feeding mosquitoes, their definitive hosts, and in vertebrates, which are intermediate hosts. This diversity is testament to their exceptional adaptability and poses a major challenge for developing effective strategies to reduce the disease burden and transmission. Following one asexual amplification cycle in the liver, parasites reach high burdens by rounds of asexual replication within red blood cells. A few of these blood- stage parasites make a developmental switch into the sexual stage (or gametocyte), which is essential for transmission. The bone marrow, in particular the haematopoietic niche (in rodents, also the spleen), is a major site of parasite growth and sexual development. This Review focuses on our current understanding of blood-stage parasite development and vascular and tissue sequestration, which is responsible for disease symptoms and complications, and when involving the bone marrow, provides a niche for asexual replication and gametocyte development. Understanding these processes provides an opportunity for novel therapies and interventions. Gametogenesis Malaria is one of the major life- threatening infectious Malaria parasites have a complex life cycle marked Maturation of male and female diseases in humans and is particularly prevalent in trop- by successive rounds of asexual replication across gametes. ical and subtropical low- income regions of the world.
