Acute Pancreatitis in a Patient with Complicated Falciparum Malaria [PDF]
Malaria is one of the most common protozoan diseases, especially in tropical countries. The clinical manifestation of malaria, especially falciparum malaria varies from mild acute febrile illness to life threatening severe systemic complications ...

Analysis of nucleosome positioning landscapes enables gene discovery in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. [PDF]
BackgroundPlasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria-causing parasite, has an extremely AT-rich (80.7 %) genome. Because of high AT-content, sequence-based annotation of genes and functional elements remains challenging.

Rising report of Plasmodium vivax in sub-Saharan Africa: Implications for malaria elimination agenda
Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum are the most important human malaria species. P. falciparum is considered the most virulent and widespread species in sub-Saharan Africa.

Introduction: Quinine and quinidines remain the drugs of choice for chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. In 1972, Chinese scientists discovered the antimalarial properties of a group of compounds from the qinghao plant (Artemisia annua) which have activity against all malaria causing parasites including multi-drug resistant strains of ...

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

The effect of dams and seasons on malaria incidence and anopheles abundance in Ethiopia [PDF]
Background: Reservoirs created by damming rivers are often believed to increase malaria incidence risk and/or stretch the period of malaria transmission. In this paper, we report the effects of a mega hydropower dam on P.

Mode of action and choice of antimalarial drugs for intermittent preventive treatment in infants.
Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) is an effective and safe malaria control strategy. However, it remains unclear what antimalarials should be used to replace sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) when and where SP is no longer an effective ...

Predicting gene expression in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum using histone modification, nucleosome positioning, and 3D localization features. [PDF]
Empirical evidence suggests that the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs a broad range of mechanisms to regulate gene transcription throughout the organism's complex life cycle.

BackgroundRecent molecular surveillance suggests an unexpectedly high prevalence of non-falciparum malaria in Africa. Malaria control is also challenged by undetected asymptomatic P. falciparum malaria resulting in an undetectable reservoir for potential

HIV Malaria Co-Infection Is Associated with Atypical Memory B Cell Expansion and a Reduced Antibody Response to a Broad Array of Plasmodium falciparum Antigens in Rwandan Adults. [PDF]
HIV infected individuals in malaria endemic areas experience more frequent and severe malaria episodes compared to non HIV infected. This clinical observation has been linked to a deficiency in antibody responses to Plasmodium falciparum antigens ...
