Malaria misdiagnosis among febrile patients in Senegal: implications for the underestimation of Plasmodium species diversity and malaria burden

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria remains a leading cause of febrile illness in Senegal, disproportionately affecting young populations. Test-and-treat remains a key strategy for malaria control but relies on accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Validation of Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour Constructs for Predicting Malaria Vaccine Acceptance in Ghana: A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling Approach

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study examines the predictive power of constructs from the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in explaining malaria vaccine acceptance in Ghana in the post‐COVID‐19 era, while also assessing the reliability of these constructs within this context.

Plasmodium falciparum Parasites With Histidine‐Rich Protein 2 (pfhrp2) and pfhrp3 Gene Deletions in Frontier Endemic Regions of Brazilian Amazon

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies reporting deletions of the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in P. falciparum populations in various malaria‐endemic countries, including countries bordering Brazil, are increasing. Individuals infected with P. falciparum carrying deletions of the pfhrp2/3 genes may yield false‐negative results in Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) based on the ...

Donor management implications for high‐sensitivity detection of low‐level malaria parasitemia in blood donor screening

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Transfusion‐transmitted malaria can occur when donors have unrecognized asymptomatic infection with submicroscopic parasitemia, highlighting the need to detect low‐level parasitemia in blood donor screening. However, these highly sensitive blood donor testing algorithms may refer donors to clinicians who use diagnostic algorithms ...

Molecular characterization of CD36 deficiency in blood donors of Middle Eastern and African origin reveals transcript‐level defects beyond genomic variants

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The increasing diversity of blood donor populations has created new challenges for transfusion services worldwide. The identification of donors lacking relevant high‐prevalence antigens is becoming increasingly important to ensure compatible blood products for alloimmunized patients and to support the development of rare donor ...
