Parasites & vectors.Parasit Vectors.2015 Jul 16;8:376. doi: 10.1186/s13071-015-0995-y.
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have described natural human infections of the non-human primate parasites Plasmodium knowlesi and Plasmodium cynomolgi. In Southeast Asia, mosquitoes of the Anopheles leucosphyrus group bite both humans and monkeys in the forest and thus offer a possible route for Plasmod

Cloning, expression and functional characterization of heme detoxification protein (HDP) from the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium vinckei.

Soni A1, Goyal M2, Prakash K2, Bhardwaj J1, Siddiqui AJ1, Puri SK3.
Gene.Gene.2015 Jul 15;566(1):109-19. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2015.04.037. Epub 2015 Apr 16.
Malaria parasite resides within the host red blood cells, where it degrades vast amount of haemoglobin. During haemoglobin degradation, toxic free heme is liberated which subsequently gets converted into hemozoin. This process is facilitated by action of various proteins viz. heme detoxification pro
