1. Chloroquine and mefloquine resistance profiles are not related to the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) VK210 subtypes in field isolates of Plasmodium vivax from Manaus, Brazilian Amazon
BACKGROUND The central repetitive region (CRR) of the Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite surface protein (CSP) is composed of a repetitive sequence that is characterised by three variants: VK210, VK247 and P. vivax-like. The most important challenge in the treatment of P. vivax infection is the possibility of differential response based on the parasite geno

2. EVALUATION OF CIRCUMSPOROZOITE PROTEIN OF Plasmodium vivax TO ESTIMATE ITS PREVALENCE IN OIAPOQUE , AMAPÁ STATE, BRAZIL, BORDERING FRENCH GUIANA
SUMMARY Malaria is a major health problem for people who live on the border between Brazil and French Guiana. Here we discuss Plasmodium vivax distribution pattern in the town of Oiapoque, Amapá State using the circumsporozoite (CS) gene as a marker. Ninety-one peripheral blood samples from P. vivax patients have been studied. Of these, 64 individuals were

3. Incrimination of Anopheles (Anopheles) intermedius Peryassú, An. (Nyssorhynchus) nuneztovari Gabaldón, An. (Nys.) oswaldoi Peryassú as natural vectors of Plasmodium falciparum in French Guiana
Anopheles darlingi Root is the major vector of human malaria in the Neotropics and has been considered to be the sole malaria vector in French Guiana. The presence of other potential vectors suggests that malaria may be transmitted by other species under certain conditions. From 2006-2011, all anopheline specimens collected from 11 localities were assayed to

4. TLR5-dependent immunogenicity of a recombinant fusion protein containing an immunodominant epitope of malarial circumsporozoite protein and the FliC flagellin of Salmonella Typhimurium
Recently, we described the improved immunogenicity of new malaria vaccine candidates based on the expression of fusion proteins containing immunodominant epitopes of merozoites and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium flagellin (FliC) protein as an innate immune agonist. Here, we tested whether a similar strategy, based on an immunodominant B-cell epitope

5. Molecular markers and genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax
Enhanced understanding of the transmission dynamics and population genetics for Plasmodium vivax is crucial in predicting the emergence and spread of novel parasite phenotypes with major public health implications, such as new relapsing patterns, drug resistance and increased virulence. Suitable molecular markers are required for these population genetic stu

6. Análise da expressão de regiões da proteína Circumsporozoíta de Plasmodium sp. em Aedes aegypti infectado por Plasmodium gallinaceum. / Expression analyses of Plasmodium sp. Circumsporozoite protein regions in Plasmodium gallinaceum infected Aedes aegypti.
Transgenic mosquitoes that impair malaria transmission can be an alternative control but currently an effective line is not available. A better understanding of mosquito interaction with pathogens is very important to improve refractory transgene design. Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) has two conserved domains that could be involved in spz penetration into m

7. Vector bionomics and malaria transmission in the Upper Orinoco River, Southern Venezuela
A longitudinal epidemiological and entomological study was carried out in Ocamo, Upper Orinoco River, between January 1994 and February 1995 to understand the dynamics of malaria transmission in this area. Malaria transmission occurs throughout the year with a peak in June at the beginning of the rainy season. The Annual Parasite Index was 1,279 per 1,000 po

8. Prevalence and level of antibodies to the circumsporozoite protein of human malaria parasites in five states of the Amazon region of Brazil
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria infection and antibodies against the repetitive epitopes of the circumsporozoite (CS) proteins of Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax VK210, P. vivax VK247, and P. vivax-like in individuals living in the states of Rondônia, Pará, Mato Grosso, Amazonas, and Acre. Active malaria transm

9. Adordagem vacinal bivalente baseada na fusão genética de seqüência derivada da proteína circunsporozoíta (CS) de Plasmodium yoelii com a flagelina FliCd de Salmonella enterica / Bivalent vaccines approaches based in genetic fusion of sequence derived of the circumsporozoíta (CS) protein de Plasmodium yoelii with FliCd flagellin of Salmonella enterica.
A busca de adjuvantes que estimulem de forma eficiente à resposta imune celular representa uma importante contribuição para a pesquisa de vacinas. O principal objetivo deste trabalho foi a avaliação do efeito imunoestimulador de flagelinas expressas por linhagens de Salmonella sp., particularmente na ativação de respostas mediadas por células T CD8+,

10. Caracterização epidemiológica da malária autóctone do Espírito Santo / Study of the epidemiologic aspects of the indigenous malaria in Espírito Santo State
The several aspects of the transmission cycle of the indigenous malaria are important to base on the intervention strategies. From April 2001 to March 2004, 65 patients and 1,777 inhabitants were evaluated in nine Municipalities of the highlands of Espírito Santo State. Laboratory methods included: thick and thin smears, Multiplex PCR, imunnofluorescent ass

11. Susceptibility of Anopheles aquasalis and An. darlingi to Plasmodium vivax VK210 and VK247
The susceptibility of Anopheles aquasalis (F3 generation) and An. darlingi (F1 generation) to Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein phenotypes from a limited number of blood samples of malaria patients in Belém, state of Pará, Brazil, was examined. A polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the P. vivax phenotypes in blood samples and the blood-

12. Variants of the Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite protein (VK210 and VK247) in Colombian isolates
Phenotypic diversity has been described in the central repeated region of the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) from Plasmodium vivax. Two sequences VK210 (common) and VK247 (variant) have been found widely distributed in P. vivax isolates from several malaria endemic areas around the world. A third protein variant called P. vivax-like showing a sequence simila
