The development of new effective antimalarial agents is urgently needed due to the ineffectiveness of current drug regimes on the most virulent human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Antisense (AS) oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) have shown promise as chemotherapeutic agents. Phosphorothioate AS ODNs against different regions of P. falciparum topoisomerase II gene were investigated. Chloroquine- and pyrimethamine-resistant P. falciparum K1 strain was exposed to phosphorothioate AS ODNs for 48 h and growth was determined by flow cytometric assay or by microscopic assay. Exogenous delivery of phosphorothioate AS ODNs between 0.01 and 0.5 microM significantly inhibited parasite growth compared with sense sequence controls suggesting sequence specific inhibition. This inhibition was shown to occur during maturation stages, with optimal inhibition being detected after 36 h. These results should prove useful in future designs of novel antimalarial agents. 相似文献

The colonization of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles dirus was performed using out‐of‐date human blood from a blood bank as a nutritional supply dispensed from a common artificial feeder. Preserved human blood was collected and used for feeding on days 5, 15, and 25 after date of expiration and dispensed from a common artificial feeder to rear the mosquitoes. Ae. aegypti had a feeding rate of 78.7, 62, and 18% at the respective intervals while An. dirus had a rate of 80, 56.8, and 7.3% on the same respective days. Direct feeding on live hamsters resulted in a rate of 96 and 90% for Ae. aegypti and An. dirus, respectively. Although egg production rates decreased from the day 5 feeding to the day 25 feeding, all of the developmental stages resulting from An. dirus fed at day 5 and 15 showed insignificant differences when compared with direct feeding on the blood of a hamster. 相似文献

Behavioral responses of female mosquitoes representing two species in the Minimus Complex exposed to an operational field dose of bifenthrin or DEET (N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide) were described using an excito-repellency test system. Two test populations of An. minimus, one from the field (Tak Province, western Thailand), the other from a long-established laboratory colony, and Anopheles harrisoni collected from Kanchanaburi Province, western Thailand, were used. Results showed that all test populations rapidly escaped after direct contact with surfaces treated with either bifenthrin or DEET compared to match-paired untreated controls. Greater escape response by exposed females to bifenthrin and DEET were observed in the An. minimus colony compared to the two field populations. Field-collected An. minimus demonstrated a more rapid escape response to DEET than to bifenthrin, whereas An. harrisoni showed a converse response. Although fewer females escaped from test chambers without direct contact with treated surfaces compared to contact tests, the spatial repellency response was significantly pronounced in all test populations compared to match-paired controls (P < 0.05). DEET was found to perform as both a contact stimulant and moderate spatial repellent. 相似文献
