Plasmodium vivax malaria elimination: should innovative ideas from the past be revisited?

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2014
In the 1950s, the strategy of adding chloroquine to food salt as a prophylaxis against malaria was considered to be a successful tool. However, with the development of Plasmodium resistance in the Brazilian Amazon, this control strategy was abandoned ...

Mass campaigns with antimalarial drugs: a modelling comparison of artemether-lumefantrine and DHA-piperaquine with and without primaquine as tools for malaria control and elimination

, 2015
Antimalarial drugs are a powerful tool for malaria control and elimination. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) can reduce transmission when widely distributed in a campaign setting.

Advances in Antimalarial Drug Evaluation and New Targets for Antimalarials [PDF]

, 2012
Parasitic infections due to the protozoa Plasmodium are responsible for malaria, a severe disease that still caused about 225 million cases and 781,000 human deaths in 2009, despite the efforts developed during the last decade to fight this disease (Alonso et al., 2011).

Toxic Evaluations of Calea phyllolepis Extracts Standardized on 6‐epi‐β‐Verbesinol Coumarate and Its In Silico Prediction of the Toxicity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
In vivo and in silico toxicological effects of Calea phyllolepis extracts Standardized on 6‐epi‐β‐Verbesinol Coumarate. ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are traditionally used in folk medicine. Still, there is a misconception about the safety/efficacy of natural treatments, which results in few studies on the toxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic potential of ...

An evolutionary perspective on the kinome of malaria parasites [PDF]

, 2012
Malaria parasites belong to an ancient lineage that diverged very early from the main branch of eukaryotes. The approximately 90-member plasmodial kinome includes a majority of eukaryotic protein kinases that clearly cluster within the AGC, CMGC, TKL ...

Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Bio‐Guided Isolation of Secondary Metabolites With Antiplasmodial Activity From Dalbergia miscolobium Bark

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development.
