Plasmodium falciparum: one-step growth in a semi-defined medium and the stimulatory effect of human seric lipoproteins and liposomes.

Abstract:

:The ring stages of Plasmodium falciparum within red blood cells cultured with complete medium stop growing when transferred to a basic medium containing RPMI plus fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin and dialyzable factors from human serum. Growth and multiplication can be partially restored by the addition of lipoprotein fractions prepared from human serum. No specificity was observed with subclasses of lipoproteins. Synthetic liposomes containing lecithin, oleic acid, and cholesterol mimic the effect of lipoproteins.

  • Toxicity effect of the acaricide fipronil in semi-engorged females of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) (Acari: Ixodidae): preliminary determination of the minimum lethal concentration and LC(50).

    abstract::Chemical acaricides, especially fipronil (active ingredient of Frontline®), are still the most effective method to control tick populations. In this study, the effectiveness of fipronil was assessed in semi-engorged females of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. A protocol for an in vitro bioassay (AIT) was developed, ...
