Plasmodium vivax in Children: Hidden Burden and Conspicuous Challenges, a Narrative Review

Myriam Drysdale et al.

Summary: Plasmodium vivax is the most common type of malaria in certain regions and affects mainly children. Treatment for radical cure, which prevents relapse, is challenging due to limited diagnostic tests, potential side effects in patients with G6PD deficiency, and lack of pediatric formulations. Future efforts should focus on improving access to curative treatments for infants and children, as well as research and control initiatives for P. vivax in this population.

Summary: This study evaluated the capacity of recombinant PvMSP1(42) variants to detect IgG antibodies in symptomatic patients from Mesoamerica. The results showed that the PvMSP1(42) variants were similarly efficient in detecting specific IgG antibodies in P. vivax patients and could be good candidates for malaria surveillance and epidemiological studies in the region.

Wande M. Oluyemi et al.

Summary: Multidrug resistance is a significant issue in malaria treatment, and the search for new drugs with new mechanisms of action is necessary. This study identified Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (pfLHD) as a potential target for developing new drugs by targeting the substrate-binding site. Allosteric inhibition was observed, which provides insights for designing antimalarial compounds.

Plasmodium vivax:the potential obstacles it presents to malaria elimination and eradication

Kassahun Habtamu et al.

Summary: Efforts to eradicate malaria have been largely successful against P. falciparum, but encounter significant challenges when dealing with P. vivax due to its unique biological traits. The ability of P. vivax to form hypnozoites in liver cells for extended periods, its genetic polymorphism impacting responses to medication, and its fast development in the mosquito contribute to difficulties in complete eradication. New tools for lowering transmission are necessary to overcome these challenges and achieve malaria elimination.

Plasmodium vivax latent liver infection is characterized by persistent hypnozoites, hypnozoite-derived schizonts, and time-dependent efficacy of primaquine

Erika L. Flannery et al.

Summary: Plasmodium vivax, a malaria-causing pathogen, can establish a dormant form in the liver and cause relapse after weeks, months, or years. This dormant form presents a challenge for malaria eradication. Using a human liver-chimeric mouse model, researchers studied the latency and activation of P. vivax. They found that eliminating primary liver schizonts led to the functional activation of hypnozoites, resulting in secondary liver schizonts. Additionally, primaquine arrested developing schizonts and prevented the activation of hypnozoites.

Enzyme-linked aptamer-based sandwich assay (ELASA) for detecting Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase, a malarial biomarker

Yeon-Jun Kim et al.

Summary: A sensitive and selective enzyme-linked aptamer-based sandwich assay (ELASA) was reported for detecting Plasmodium falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH). The method used a single aptamer sequence to capture and probe the target molecule, providing flexibility in binding. The detection limit of PfLDH was 100 ng mL(-1) by naked eye and 34.9 ng mL(-1) by absorbance measurements. This method selectively binds PfLDH and can be a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring malaria cases.

Plasmodium vivax Latent Liver Stage Infection and Relapse: Biological Insights and New Experimental Tools

Summary: Plasmodium vivax, the most widespread human malaria parasite, can form latent liver stages known as hypnozoites which can activate weeks, months, or even years after the primary infection, causing relapses of blood stage infection. Eliminating hypnozoites is a major obstacle for malaria treatment and eradication as they are undetectable and unaffected by most antimalarial drugs.

Self-Organization Provides Cell Fate Commitment in MSC Sheet Condensed Areas via ROCK-Dependent Mechanism

Peter Nimiritsky et al.

Summary: The study used cell sheets as a model of human MSC spontaneous self-organization to demonstrate its structural, transcriptomic impact, and multipotent stromal cell commitment, with the Rho-GTPase pathway playing a role in spontaneous condensation. Differentiation assays and RNA-sequencing revealed more effective differentiation of MSC to bone and cartilage in CS compared to adipocytes, with transcriptional shifts involving the activation of the Rho-GTPase pathway and repression of SREBP being key factors. The findings suggest a model where the self-organization of MSC defines their commitment and cell fate through ROCK1/2 and SREBP under the control of AMP kinase.
