Because the newly formed blood vessels are leaky and tortuous, pericytes are important to protect the fragile vessels [1]. Based on reports that the connective tissue vascular fraction of fat tissue contains stem cells that give rise to pericytes -- cells surrounding small blood vessels -- researchers led by Albert D.
Malaria parasites belong to the genus Plasmodium (phylum Apicomplexa). In humans, malaria is caused by P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. knowlesi. Among those infected, P. falciparum is the most common species identified (~75%) followed by P. vivax (~20%).n humans, malaria is caused by P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale, P. vivax and P. knowlesi.

Anopheles / É Ë n É f Éª l iË z / (Greek anofelÃ­s: useless) is a genus of mosquito first described and named by J. W. Meigen in 1818. About 460 species are recognised; while over 100 can transmit human malaria, only 30â40 commonly transmit parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria in humans in endemic areas.
