Plasmodium falciparum

P. falciparum (Pf) is one of five protozoan parasite species of the genus Plasmodium that cause malaria in humans. Pf is responsible for the majority of malaria related deaths and is the most prevalent species in sub-Saharan Africa.

Plasmodium falciparum Dd2

P. falciparum strain Dd2 (PfDd2) is a clone derived from PfW2, following continuous culture in mefloquine. PfW2 was cloned from the Indochina III/CDC isolate, originally derived from a Laotian patient who failed chloroquine therapy.
PfDd2 can be obtained from the Malaria Research and Reference Reagent Resource Center (MR4) and is reported to be resistant to chloroquine, pyrimethamine and mefloquine.

Malaria Pharmacology Comments
P. falciparum histone acetyltransferase GCN5 (PfGCN5) is a Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) belonging to the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) family [2].
