About
Dr. Bruce Russell is an Associate Professor at the University of Otago, New Zealand. His research focuses on the functional and immunological mapping of malaria-related proteins, gastrointestinal microbiome interactions, and the pharmacological profiles of novel antimalarial compounds. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of erythrocyte tropism in malaria and the genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax . His recent articles reflect an extensive study on malaria mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of both host-parasite interactions and microbiome dynamics.

Testing Plasmodium vivax antimicrobial sensitivity is limited to ex vivo schizont maturation assays, which preclude determining the IC50s of delayed action antimalarials such as doxycycline. Using Plasmodium cynomolgi as a model for P. vivax , we determined the physiologically significant delayed death effect induced by doxycycline [IC 50(96 h) , 1,401 ± 607 nM]. As expected, IC 50(96 h) to chloroquine (20.4 nM), piperaquine (12.6 µM), and tafenoquine (1,424 nM) were not affected by extended exposure.
