Sequenced Plasmodium chabaudi lines available. Stabilates of the cloned P. chabaudi AJ and CB and P. adami DK and DS lines, recently sequenced by Thomas Otto and colleagues at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, are now available. Stabilates of these lines have been made from infections in mice maintained in pathogen-free conditions. Read more about Sequenced Plasmodium chabaudi lines available.

Our current work in the lay press. Our previous work in the lay press. We work on the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. We are interested in virulence and infectiousness, adaptation to new hosts, vaccine failure, and drug and insecticide resistance. We work with the players that cause malaria.

191;Quién es BiólogoyBecario? El porqué de un nombre. Miércoles, 11 de enero de 2017. Hace ya tanto que volví de Bélgica, de visitar por segunda vez a Álex. Justo antes de que se volviese de su estancia, que seguramente ya ni os acordéis. Pero visitamos sitios bonitos y vimos bichos chulos, así que merece la pena que dedique unas cuantas entradas a comentar lo sucedido en aquel fin de semana. En cuanto vuelva al secarral mediterráneo.

Using a combination of mathematical tools and data, we seek new understanding of the biology of parasites and of how their traits and behaviours influence disease dynamics and control. Why do some parasites lead to severe disease in their hosts while others are comparatively benign? What evolutionary factors have shaped parasite traits that underlie disease severity and transmission? The vector as protector.
