Disruption of the coordination between host circadian rhythms and malaria parasite development alters the duration of the intraerythrocytic cycle
2019-10-02
Abstract excerpt
Malaria parasites complete their intra-erythrocytic developmental cycle (IDC) in multiples of 24 hours (depending on the species), suggesting a circadian basis to the asexual cell cycle, but the mechanism controlling this periodicity is unknown. Combining in vivo and in vitro approaches using rodent and human malaria parasites, we reveal that: (i) 57% of Plasmodium chabaudi genes exhibit 24 h “circadian” period...
