plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium coatneyi: immunogenicity of "knob-like protrusions" on infected erythrocyte membranes.		1977	405234
serum complement and immunity in experimental simian malaria. i. cyclical alterations in c4 related to schizont rupture.	previous studies indicated that the level of whole serum complement (c') falls during malaria, and that the fall in c' is linked to schizont rupture and the appearance of humoral antibody. for a more detailed study of the role of c' in malaria, levels of c4 were monitored in rhesus monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi. after one to two weeks of infection, significant and abrupt declines in c4 levels occurred, and these were temporally related to the process of schizont rupture. the level of ...	1975	1089126
plasmodium coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys: a primate model for human cerebral malaria.	although several animal models for human cerebral malaria have been proposed in the past, none have shown pathological findings that are similar to those seen in humans. in order to develop an animal model for human cerebral malaria, we studied the pathology of brains of plasmodium coatneyi (primate malaria parasite)-infected rhesus monkeys. our study demonstrated parasitized erythrocyte (prbc) sequestration and cytoadherence of knobs on prbc to endothelial cells in cerebral microvessels of thes ...	1992	1343725
a primate model for human cerebral malaria: plasmodium coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys.	a major factor in the pathogenesis of human cerebral malaria is blockage of cerebral microvessels by the sequestration of parasitized human red blood cells (prbc). in vitro studies indicate that sequestration of prbc in the microvessels is mediated by the attachment of knobs on prbc to receptors on the endothelial cell surface such as cd36, thrombospondin (tsp), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1). however, it is difficult to test this theory in vivo because fresh human brain tissues ...	1992	1374220

susceptibility of macaca fascicularis monkeys from mauritius to different species of plasmodium.	macaca fascicularis monkeys from mauritius were shown to be susceptible via sporozoite inoculation to 7 species of plasmodium (p. fragile, p. coatneyi, p. gonderi, p. inui, p. cynomolgi, p. knowlesi, and p. fieldi), indigenous to macaques in southeastern asia. four monkeys were sequentially infected with different species of plasmodium to determine maximum and course of parasitemia. in 2 nonsplenectomized monkeys, p. fragile developed maximum parasite counts of only 134 and 155/microliters. for ...	1992	1597796
rosette formation by plasmodium coatneyi-infected red blood cells.	animal models are needed for the study of cytoadherence in falciparum malaria. red blood cell (rbc) rosette formation is one type of cytoadherence and appears to be associated with knob formation, endothelial cell adhesion and sequestration of plasmodium-infected rbcs. since plasmodium coatneyi-infected rbcs develop knobs and sequester, we hypothesized that they also form rosettes. rbcs from p. coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys (macaca-mulatta) were collected, allowed to mature overnight in vitro ...	1991	1904195
enhancement of in vitro infectivity of simian malaria sporozoites to hepatocytes by centrifugation.	sporozoites of plasmodium cynomolgi, plasmodium knowlesi, and plasmodium coatneyi were deposited onto monolayers of hepatocytes from rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta). when sporozoites were centrifuged (1,600 g for 5 min), 4-13-fold more schizonts were observed than were found in noncentrifuged control cultures. centrifugation of hepatocyte monolayers before adding sporozoites did not modify the number of parasites.	1989	2614610
plasmodium coatneyi: alterations of transcapillary escape rate and capillary permeability to fibrinogen in rhesus monkeys.	the transcapillary escape rate and plasma clearance of fibrinogen were studied in six rhesus monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi as well as in six control monkeys using 131i-fibrinogen as a tracer. the mean transcapillary escape rate of fibrinogen in the infected group was significantly higher than that of the control group. both plasma volume and plasma fibrinogen concentration were also elevated in the infected group, these resulting in a significantly higher intravascular fibrinogen mas ...	1986	3709748

blood parasites of wild and domestic animals from south kalimantan (borneo), indonesia.	wild and domestic animals trapped from forests, villages, and rice fields in south kalimantan (3 degrees 20' s, 115 degrees 02' e, 25 m) were examined for blood parasites using giemsa stained thick and thin blood films and nuclepore filter preparations of peripheral vein and heart puncture blood. presbytis cristatus (silvered leaf monkey) (25%) and felis catus (domestic cat) (7%) were infected with brugia malayi and b. pahangi. in addition, p. cristatus was infected with wuchereria kalimantani ( ...	1981	6789456
a nonhuman primate model for human cerebral malaria: effects of artesunate (qinghaosu derivative) on rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with plasmodium coatneyi.	we studied the effects of artesunate on rhesus monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi. sixteen rhesus monkeys were divided in four groups. group i consisted of three monkeys that were splenectomized and were treated with three doses (loading dose: 3.3 mg/kg, maintenance doses: 1.7 mg/kg) of artesunate, group ii consisted of three monkeys that were treated with three doses of artesunate (same as group i), group iii consisted of two monkeys that were treated with one dose (3.3 mg/kg) of artesun ...	1993	7506497
a nonhuman primate model for human cerebral malaria: rhesus monkeys experimentally infected with plasmodium fragile.	we studied the brains of rhesus monkeys infected with the primate malaria parasite plasmodium fragile. electron microscopy showed that, in these animals, erythrocytes infected with p. fragile undergo sequestration and that parasitized red blood cells adhere to endothelial cells in the cerebral microvessels by means of knobs. cerebral microvessels with sequestered parasitized red blood cells were shown by immunohistochemical analysis to possess the platelet glycoprotein cd36, thrombospondin, and ...	1994	7515825
rosette formation by plasmodium coatneyi-infected erythrocytes of the japanese macaque (macaca fuscata).	we studied in vitro the spontaneous rosette formation by red blood cells of a japanese macaque infected with plasmodium coatneyi, which occurred after 30 hr of incubation. rosette formation involved 88% of parasitized red blood cells (prbcs). spontaneous rosettes were formed when the ring-stage parasites developed into late trophozoites or schizonts. a rosette usually consisted of a prbc surrounded by three or more uninfected erythrocytes. electron microscopic examination revealed that interacti ...	1995	7573716
malaria-induced increase of splenic gamma delta t cells in humans, monkeys, and mice.	the number and distribution of gamma delta t cells in spleens from patients who died of cerebral malaria and from rhesus monkeys severely infected with plasmodium coatneyi were examined by immunocytochemistry. gamma delta t cells were significantly increased in these spleens. in a rodent malaria model using plasmodium chabaudi adami, an avirulent strain of murine malaria parasites, the degree of parasitemia appears to be modulated by the number of gamma delta t cells in the spleen. as parasitemi ...	1994	7957758
sequestration pattern of parasitized erythrocytes in cerebrum, mid-brain, and cerebellum of plasmodium coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta).	six rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) infected with plasmodium coatneyi were studied for parasitized red blood cell (prbc) sequestration in microvessels of the brain. the degree of prbc sequestration is different in the cerebral, mid-brain, and cerebellar microvessels, with sequestration occurring preferentially in the cerebellum. this pattern resembles that of prbc sequestration in cerebral and cerebellar microvessels in human falciparum malaria. the morphologic appearance of sequestered cells un ...	1993	8214282
metabolic disturbances in plasmodium coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys.	to investigate metabolic disturbances in an animal model of human malaria, four rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) were infected with plasmodium coatneyi, a parasite which induces cytoadherence of infected erythrocytes. when moribund or the parasitaemia had plateaued, the monkeys were sacrificed (3 animals) or treated with chloroquine (1 animal). blood and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) were sampled at intervals between inoculation and sacrifice or treatment. arterial and csf glucose and lactate rose du ...	1993	8225757

plasmodium coatneyi ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigens.	plasmodium coatneyi produced ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (resa) during infection of the rhesus monkey. this antigen was immunogenic and elicited an antibody response that was not persistent but was boosted by repeated infections in a manner similar to that seen in p. falciparum infections in humans. preliminary data showed that the appearance and increasing titer of antibodies to p. coatneyi resa-like antigen were associated with prolongation of intervals from inoculation to patenc ...	1993	8352385
a primate model for severe human malaria with cerebral involvement: plasmodium coatneyi-infected macaca fuscata.	to develop an animal model for severe human malaria, we carried out clinical and pathologic observations of japanese monkeys (macaca fuscata) infected with plasmodium coatneyi. two monkeys, eight and nine months of age, were used in this experiment. after inoculation with the parasite, both monkeys developed a fulminating acute infection with high parasitemia (20-28.2%) and became moribund with typical signs of severe malaria. in the splenectomized japanese monkey, sequestered infected erythrocy ...	1993	8517481
a correlation of the sequestration rate of plasmodium coatneyi-infected erythrocytes in cerebral and subcutaneous tissues of a rhesus monkey.	parasitized red blood cells (prbcs) were sequestered in microvessels of cerebral and subcutaneous tissues of a rhesus monkey infected with plasmodium coatneyi. a similar sequestration rate (approximately 80%) was observed in both cerebral and subcutaneous microvessels. electron microscopy showed knobs of the sequestrated prbcs cytoadhered to endothelial cells. these results are consistent with the finding of prbc sequestration in subcutaneous tissues in a comatose patient with cerebral malaria. ...	1996	8842121
multi-organ erythrocyte sequestration and ligand expression in rhesus monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi malaria.	the pathogenesis of human cerebral malaria is suspected to be caused by blockage of cerebral microvessels by the sequestration of parasitized human red blood cells (prbc). examination of infected tissues indicate prbc sequestration in microvessels is the result of prbc knob attachment to endothelial cell surface cytoadherence receptors such as cd36, thrombospondin (tsp), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (icam-1). in lieu of fresh human tissue, several animal models for human cerebral malari ...	1996	8916792
plasmodium coatneyi in the rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) as a model of malaria in pregnancy.	pregnant women with plasmodium falciparum infection are at increased risk for complications such as anemia and cerebral malaria. in addition, the infants of these women suffer intrauterine growth retardation (iugr), low birth weight (lbw), congenital infection, and high infant mortality. although much has been learned from studies of malaria during human pregnancy, progress has been limited by the lack of a suitable animal model. nonhuman primates are of particular interest because, other than t ...	1998	9715932
plasmodium coatneyi: differential clinical and immune responses of two populations of macaca fascicularis from different origins.	two species of macaques, including two macaca fascicularis from the philippines, two m. fascicularis from mauritius, and one macaca mulatta, were experimentally infected with blood stages of plasmodium coatneyi and followed during their clinical, parasitological, biological, and immunological evolution. plasma cytokine (tnf-alpha, il-1beta, il-6, ifn-gamma) production peaked for all monkeys 11 days after inoculation, concomitantly with peaks of parasitemia. only the m. fascicularis from the phil ...	1999	9920040
cytokine production in rhesus monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi.	plasmodium coatneyi infection in rhesus monkeys has been used as a model for studying human malaria. cytokine production in this model, however, has so far not been examined. in this study, four rhesus monkeys were infected with p. coatneyi, with another four animals serving as uninfected controls. blood samples were taken for the determination of daily parasitemia, and cytokine and prostaglandin e2 (pge2) levels at days 0, 3, 5, 7, and 10. all inoculated animals became infected, with synchroniz ...	1999	10463671
malaria infection induces rapid elevation of the soluble fas ligand level in serum and subsequent t lymphocytopenia: possible factors responsible for the differences in susceptibility of two species of macaca monkeys to plasmodium coatneyi infection.	the intraerythrocytic stage of the simian malaria parasite plasmodium coatneyi (cdc strain) was intravenously inoculated into two species of macaques with different susceptibilities to infection with this parasite, including four japanese macaques (macaca fuscata) and three cynomolgus macaques (m. fascicularis). the japanese macaques infected with p. coatneyi developed severe clinical manifestations similar to those of severe human malaria and eventually became moribund, while the infected cynom ...	2000	10678924
expression of proinflammatory cytokines in four regions of the brain in macaque mulatta (rhesus) monkeys infected with plasmodium coatneyi.	we have characterized brain cytokine expression profiles in the plasmodium coatneyi/rhesus (macaque mulatta) malaria model. eight rhesus monkeys were included in the study; four were infected with p. coatneyi, and four were used as uninfected controls. all inoculated animals became infected. eleven days after parasite inoculation, the rhesus monkeys were killed and tissue samples from 4 regions of the brain (cortex and white matter of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and midbrain) were collected for qu ...	2000	11220773
placental changes associated with fetal outcome in the plasmodium coatneyi/rhesus monkey model of malaria in pregnancy.	term placentas collected surgically from seven plasmodium coatneyi-infected rhesus monkeys, one abortion, and five controls were evaluated histopathologically. the placentas from plasmodium-infected dams had more significant pathologic changes than those from controls for six parameters (p < 0.05) and higher numbers of activated (ln5 + zymed) macrophages in the intervillous space (ivs) (p = 0.0173). total parasite load (tpl) was defined as the sum of all weekly peripheral infected red blood cell ...	2000	11388509
plasmodium coatneyi: observations on periodicity, mosquito infection, and transmission to macaca mulatta monkeys.	plasmodium coatneyi has adapted well to experimental studies with macaca mulatta monkeys and anopheles dirus mosquitoes. studies were made to determine 1) the course of asexual parasitemia, 2) periods when infective gametocytes were produced, 3) the laboratory-reared mosquitoes susceptible to infection, 4) the mosquito most capable of transmitting the infection to monkeys via bite, 5) the pattern of recrudescence, and 6) the prepatent periods following the bites of infected an. dirus mosquitoes. ...	2001	11442203
plasmodium coatneyi-infected erythrocytes bind to c32 amelanotic melanoma cells under static and flow conditions.	the ability of plasmodium coatneyi-infected red blood cells (irbcs) to bind to c32 amelanotic melanoma cells was examined under static and physiologic flow conditions in vitro. six blood samples obtained from p. coatneyi-infected japanese macaques (macaca fuscata) with severe manifestations of disease were used in the static adhesion assay. all blood samples constantly exhibited binding of irbcs to c32 cells under static conditions. immunofluorescence staining with anti-cd36 mab revealed a posit ...	2003	12679569
phylogenetic analysis of csp and msp-9 gene sequences demonstrates the close relationship of plasmodium coatneyi to plasmodium knowlesi.	plasmodium coatneyi is a simian malaria parasite with various biological features similar to the human malaria p. falciparum and potential as a model for severe cases of malaria. we have characterized two single-copy genes from p. coatneyi, the circumsporozoite protein and merozoite surface protein-9 genes, and determined its phylogenetic relationship among plasmodium species. this study demonstrates that while it has similarities to p. falciparum, p. coatneyi belongs to a distant clade includin ...	2003	12797974

evolutionary analysis of circumsporozoite surface protein and merozoite surface protein-1 (csp and msp-1) sequences of malaria parasites.	malaria, one of the world's most common diseases, is caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite known as plasmodium. in this study, we have determined the evolutionary relationship of two single-copy proteins, circumsporozoite protein (csp) and merozoite surface protein-1 (msp-1), among plasmodium species using various bioinformatics tools and softwares. these two proteins are major blood stage antigens of plasmodium species. this study demonstrates that the circumsporozoite protein of plasm ...	2011	21769195
schistosoma mansoni infection impairs antimalaria treatment and immune responses of rhesus macaques infected with mosquito-borne plasmodium coatneyi.	malaria and schistosomiasis are the world's two most important parasitic infections in terms of distribution, morbidity, and mortality. in areas where plasmodium and schistosoma species are both endemic, coinfections are commonplace. mouse models demonstrate that schistosomiasis worsens a malaria infection; however, just as mice and humans differ greatly, the murine-infecting plasmodium species differ as much from those that infect humans. research into human coinfections (schistosoma haematobiu ...	2012	22907811
plasmodium coatneyi in rhesus macaques replicates the multisystemic dysfunction of severe malaria in humans.	severe malaria, a leading cause of mortality among children and nonimmune adults, is a multisystemic disorder characterized by complex clinical syndromes that are mechanistically poorly understood. the interplay of various parasite and host factors is critical in the pathophysiology of severe malaria. however, knowledge regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms and pathways leading to the multisystemic disorders of severe malaria in humans is limited. here, we systematically investigate infect ...	2013	23509137
the evolution and diversity of a low complexity vaccine candidate, merozoite surface protein 9 (msp-9), in plasmodium vivax and closely related species.	the merozoite surface protein-9 (msp-9) has been considered a target for an anti-malarial vaccine since it is one of many proteins involved in the erythrocyte invasion, a critical step in the parasite life cycle. orthologs encoding this antigen have been found in all known species of plasmodium parasitic to primates. in order to characterize and investigate the extent and maintenance of msp-9 genetic diversity, we analyzed dna sequences of the following malaria parasite species: plasmodium falci ...	2013	24044894
a review of plasmodium coatneyi-macaque models of severe malaria.	malaria remains one of the most significant public health concerns in the world today. approximately half the human population is at risk for infection, with children and pregnant women being most vulnerable. more than 90% of the total human malaria burden, which numbers in excess of 200 million annually, is due to plasmodium falciparum. lack of an effective vaccine and a dwindling stockpile of antimalarial drugs due to increased plasmodial resistance underscore the critical need for valid anima ...	2015	26077782
simian malaria in wild macaques: first report from hulu selangor district, selangor, malaysia.	malaria is a vector-borne parasitic disease which is prevalent in many developing countries. recently, it has been found that plasmodium knowlesi, a simian malaria parasite can be life-threatening to humans. long-tailed macaques, which are widely distributed in malaysia, are the natural hosts for simian malaria, including p. knowlesi. the aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of simian malaria parasites in long-tailed macaques in the district of hulu selangor, selangor, malays ...	2015	26437652
