The parasite intraerythrocytic cycle and human circadian cycle are coupled during malaria infection.
Journal Article Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · June 2023 During infections with the malaria parasites Plasmodium vivax, patients exhibit rhythmic fevers every 48 h. These fever cycles correspond with the time the parasites take to traverse the intraerythrocytic cycle (IEC). In other Plasmodium spec ...

Journal Article Transactions of the American Mathematical Society Series B · February 2, 2021 Collections of measures on compact metric spaces form a model category (“data complexes”), whose morphisms are marginalization integrals. The fibrant objects in this category represent collections of measures in which there is a measure on a product space ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
