Synchrony between daily rhythms of malaria parasites and hosts is driven by an essential amino acid

2021-10-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Rapid asexual replication of blood stage malaria parasites is responsible for the severity of disease symptoms and fuels the production of transmission forms. Here, we demonstrate that a  Plasmodium chabaudi’s schedule for asexual replication can be orchestrated by isoleucine, a metabolite provided to the parasite in a periodic manner due to the host’s rhythmic intake of food. <h4>Methods:...
