Beschreibung

1981 University of California Riverside (Riverside, California), 8 1/2 x 11 1/8 inches tall blue buckram cloth hardcover, no dust jacket (as issued), white lettering to spine, printed only on the recto side of each leaf, illustrated with black-and-white diagrams, [4], 65 plus 11-page 1980 medical journal article bound in from Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology (Elsevier), 'Plasmodium Lophurae: Malaria Induced Nucleotide Changes in Duckling (Anas Domesticus) Erythrocytes,' by the author of this dissertation and a colleague of his who has published extensively on malaria. Slight soiling to covers. Otherwise, a near fine copy of this doctoral dissertation. ~SP45~ [2.0P] Focuses on the erythrocytic cycle of malaria development, which is responsible for the pathology of the disease in humans. The work examines one aspect of parasite development: the mechanisms of purine utilization by the avian malaria parasite P. lophurae in the duckling (Anas domesticus) erythrocyte. Through this, the author gives insight into the dynamic malarial parasite-host cell relationships. Intraerythrocytic stages of malarial parasites have been shown to be unable to synthesize purines de novo in addition their host, the erythrocyte, is also unable to synthesize purines de novo. This work proposes a mechanism for the utilization of preformed purines by the malarial parasite Plasmodium lophurae in duckling (Anas Domesticus) erythrocytes.
