The Parasite Intraerythrocytic Cycle and Human Circadian Cycle are Coupled During Malaria Infection
2022-08-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> During infections with malaria parasites P. vivax , patients exhibit rhythmic fevers every 48 hours. These fever cycles correspond with the time parasites take to traverse the Intraerythrocytic Cycle (IEC) and may be guided by a parasite-intrinsic clock. Different species of Plasmodia have cycle times that are multiples of 24 hours, suggesting they may be coordinated with the host circadian clo...
