Malaria is caused by a single-celled parasite called Plasmodium that is spread through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The parasite invades and destroys red blood cells, causing symptoms like fever, chills, and headaches. In severe cases of cerebral malaria, the parasite can cause brain damage or death. While most common in Africa due to climate and living conditions, malaria is also found in parts of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Treatment focuses on killing the parasite, usually through antimalarial drugs like chloroquine.

Evasion of the host immune response by Mycobacterium tuberculosisRichard Bautista
Â
PowerPoint slides for a presentation on some of the methods and mechanisms used by Mycobacterium tuberculosis to evade host immune responses. The presentation was given on Monday, April 25, 2016, for the Advanced Microbial Physiology and Biochemistry course at Middle Tennessee State University.
Malaria is the third leading cause of death due to infectious disease.
It affects 300- 500 million people annually worldwide and accounts for over 100 million deaths, mainly in African children under the age of 5 years. A child in Africa dies every 30 seconds of malaria.
Years of research and Millions of Dollars have been spend in the quest to eradicate this deadly infectious disease. The War is still on but is the mission impossible. This presentation was made during a graduate class to review the victories and the challenges so far in the treatment and vaccination against this disease.
More still need to be done but their seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Malaria is not inevitable, it can be eradicated, the mission is possible if only we devote ourselves to quality research and we never give-up. (Oseni Saheed Oluwasina (2013))
This is an informative, illustrated presentation about the causes, symptoms, treatment and prevention of HIV AIDS. Gives relevant data, facts and statistics about the disease updated to the most recent 2010 data.
Plasmodium is the parasite that causes malaria; it is transmitted from one person to another through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once infected, these parasites travel through the blood to the liver, where they mature and multiply. They then infect the red blood cells causing them to break open, releasing haemoglobin. This loss of haemoglobin leads to anaemia.

Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called âsmallâ because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Â
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other  chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released. Â
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules -Â a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.Â
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to âburnâ the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP.  Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.Â

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 â 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : Â cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Â
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
2. The Parasites Behind the Disease
Malaria is a disease caused by a single cell parasite called plasmodium
falciparum. This parasite can be one of four under the umbrella of the
plasmodium falciparum. The parasite invades the inhabitantâs red blood cells and
begins to damage them. The mosquito infuses an early form of the parasite
called sporozoites into the bloodstream, which travel to the liver where they
develop into schizonts. This is where it multiplies, becoming merozoites and then
reenters the bloodstream. Next it enters red blood cells, damaging them. These
parasites can multiple frequently and new ones will invade the body.
3. The Parasite Behind the Disease (continued)
When red blood cells are infected they can stick adhere to capillaries and which
eventually slows the blood flow and cuts it off from various organs. Often times,
capillaries in the personâs brain are impacted or damaged badly. This is what
leads to cerebral malaria which is fatal and almost always kills its the person it
dwells in. Cerebral malaria can lead to relapses years after youâve been
diagnosed.
4. Contagiousness and Transmission
Malaria is not contagious by everyday contact, such as shaking hands, sneezing,
or coughing, nor can it be transmitted sexually or by other bodily fluids. It can be
transported only by the female anopheles mosquito if they carry one of the four
parasites that causes malaria. In 2000 there were almost 23 million cases of
malaria around the world, most of which were in Africa. In 2010 there were 26
million cases and itâs likely a large amount of the epidemic affecting Africa. Most
travelers who have obtained malaria donât experience the symptoms until after
theyâve returned home.
5. Symptoms
The most common symptoms of malaria include fever, headaches, muscle aches,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. These symptoms are usually
the first someone would experience before they are officially diagnosed with
malaria. The fever someone acquires from malaria is extremely sporadic or
temperamental. It may come and go for periods of time and fluctuate frequently.
The chills and fever can last four to ten hours and then switch to a fever and
headache, then alternating back again. This is crucial because sometimes
cerebral malaria can kill itâs victim after as little time as a few hours.
6. Symptoms (continued)
Profuse sweating isnât an uncommon result of malaria. Typically, people suffering
from malaria donât start experiencing symptoms until they return home from a
foreign country. Effects from malaria are similar to those of other diseases or
even common viruses. If you experience symptoms similar to these, or ones that
are questionable for a simple flu, you should see a doctor as a precautionary
measure because they are easily mistaken for something as simple as the flu.
Symptoms of cerebral malaria include convulsions, comas, and severe confusion.
A lab test is needed to secure the diagnoses.
7. Environment
Malaria thrives in tropical and subtropical regions. It can become common in
temperate regions, but is not as prominent as tropical or subtropical regions.
Malaria is extremely typical in the continent of Africa. Because of itâs ideal
climate and large population, Africa is a place most to carry malaria. The
anopheles mosquito prospers in the sub saharan atmosphere Africa provides and
does well reproducing and laying eggs. Because such a large quantity of Africaâs
population is poor, the living and sleeping conditions are poor making the spread
of malaria much easier because they are not protected from mosquito bites.
8. Environment (continued)
Sadly, since so many of Africaâs occupants are malnourished and unhealthy, itâs
difficult to cure malaria and their already weak immune systems arenât able to
handle it like someone in the United States would. Although not quite as
common as in Africa, malaria is also prevalent in places of South America,
Southern Asia, and parts of the Middle East. Many travelers acquire malaria
because they contract it after going out of the country. Overall, Malaria is found
in over 1000 countries.
9. Treatments and Remedies
A common, effective treatment for malaria is bark from the cinchona tree. This
tree is found in the Andes mountain region and throughout South America. Itâs
bark is used as treatment for various diseases or issues. In this case, itâs main
use is to treat the fevers caused by malaria. A more current drug is known as
chloroquine, which is combination of multiple substances to defeat malaria. The
goal of any drug or remedy treating malaria, is to kill the parasites infecting the
red blood cells. The aim is to restore the level of red blood cells overall.
Chloroquine decreases and restrains the painful symptoms of the disease.
10. Facts and Required Objectives
Discovery:
- Malaria was discovered by Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran in 1880
- He was a French army surgeon from Algeria and received the Nobel Prize in
1907 for bringing recognition to the fatal disease
Parts of the Body Affected:
- After entering your bloodstream, malaria enters your liver which cause damage.
11. Facts and Required Objectives
- If the malaria progresses to cerebral malaria, it may harm various organs.
What is Malaria:
- Malaria is not a virus or a bacteria, but a parasite. A single celled parasite is
what infects the personâs body which canât be considered a virus or bacteria.
Does Malaria Have Cells:
12. Facts and Required Objectives
Malaria does not have cells, but occurs in the cells of the human body, which is
where it multiplies and becomes detrimental.
How Does Malaria Reproduce:
- Malaria reproduces asexually or by going through different stages and
transformations while inside the personâs body.
