This paper develops a method to quantify developmental synchrony in malaria parasites that accounts for population dynamics and validates it using simulated data.

This study investigates how disrupting host daily rhythms affects malaria parasite infection dynamics, finding that feeding-fasting rhythms may benefit parasites when hosts have functional circadian clocks.

This study investigates the relationship between virulence and daily rhythms in the replication of Plasmodium chabaudi, finding that virulent genotypes recover faster from misalignment with host rhythms but do not always show greater synchrony.

This study tests a non-destructive assay to track Plasmodium sporozoites in mosquitoes over time using quantitative PCR from sugar-feeding substrates, revealing low detection rates and variable sporozoite expulsion.

This study performs a meta-analysis of rodent malaria parasite infection dynamics to assess the impact of innate immunity, finding small effect sizes and variability explained by stochasticity and experimental factors.

This study shows malaria parasites synchronize their asexual replication with host daily rhythms via the essential amino acid isoleucine, which is periodically supplied through host feeding.

The paper shows malaria parasites synchronize their replication with host feeding times, independent of host circadian clocks, suggesting nutrient availability or feeding-related processes drive this coordination.

This study shows that malaria parasite genotypes differentially disrupt host circadian rhythms in locomotor activity and body temperature, independent of replication rate or anaemia severity.

The paper shows that malaria gametocytes are more infective to mosquitoes at night, despite lower blood density, and that daytime feeding increases sporozoite burdens due to higher mosquito susceptibility.

This study shows that host feeding rhythms, not central circadian clocks, drive parasite replication timing in malaria, with parasite rhythms aligning to host glucose rhythms and not immune system rhythms.
