Some features of primary and recrudescent amodiaquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum infections in Nigerian children

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
Characteristics of primary and recrudescent Plasmodium falciparum infections were evaluated in 25 children who did not recover after amodiaquine (AQ) treatment. Recrudescence was detected by a thick blood smear and confirmed by polymerase chain reaction.

NK cells as effectors of acquired immune responses: effector CD4+ T cell-dependent activation of NK cells following vaccination.

, 2010
We characterized vaccine-induced cellular responses to rabies virus in naive adult volunteers. Contrary to current paradigms, we observed potent and prolonged in vitro NK cell cytokine production and degranulation responses after restimulation of PBMCs ...

The Trypanosoma cruzi enzyme TcGPXI is a glycosomal peroxidase and can be linked to trypanothione reduction by glutathione or tryparedoxin. [PDF]

, 2002
Trypanosoma cruzi glutathione-dependent peroxidase I (TcGPXI) can reduce fatty acid, phospholipid, and short chain organic hydroperoxides utilizing a novel redox cycle in which enzyme activity is linked to the reduction of trypanothione, a parasite ...

Efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue for prevention of Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Mali: a phase 2, single-blind, randomised controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Primaquine and methylene blue are gametocytocidal compounds that could prevent Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of primaquine and methylene blue in preventing human to mosquito ...

Prevalence of Plasmodium Species Using Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Cameroon: First‐Year Data From Routine Malaria Surveillance

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Malaria remains a major public health concern in Cameroon. Although Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant parasite, the prevalence of other Plasmodium species remains poorly documented due to the absence of a formal surveillance system.

A Nurr1 ligand C-DIM12 attenuates brain inflammation and improves functional recovery after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice

Scientific Reports, 2022
We have previously reported that amodiaquine, a compound that binds to the ligand-binding domain of a nuclear receptor Nurr1, attenuates inflammatory responses and neurological deficits after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in mice. 1,1-Bis(3′-indolyl)-1-(

Unveiling Antimalarial Drug Resistance: The Role of CRISPR‐Cas Technologies in Malaria Research

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a global health burden, with drug resistance threatening control efforts. CRISPR‐Cas technologies, particularly CRISPR‐Cas9, have transformed malaria research by enabling precise genetic manipulations to study antimalarial resistance mechanisms, develop novel therapeutics and enhance ...
