Declining malaria transmission in rural Amazon: changing epidemiology and challenges to achieve elimination [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: In recent years, considerable success in reducing its incidence has been achieved in Brazil, leading to a relative increase in the proportion of cases caused by Plasmodium vivax, considered a

Prevention and treatment of vivax malaria

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2007
Plasmodium vivax is a significant public health threat throughout most of the tropics and to travelers to these regions. The infection causes a debilitating febrile syndrome that often recurs and in rare cases ends in death. The complex life cycle of the parasite compounds the difficulty of prevention and treatment, principally due to the phenomenon of

The role of cytokines in Plasmodium vivax malaria

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
The cytokine tumor necrosis factor and other as yet unidentified factor(s) which together mediate the killing of intraerythrocytic malaria parasites are transiently elevated in sera during paroxysms in human Plasmodium vivax infections in non-immunes ...

Detecting signatures of balancing selection to identify targets of anti-parasite immunity.

, 2010
Parasite antigen genes might evolve under frequency-dependent immune selection. The distinctive patterns of polymorphism that result can be detected using population genetic methods that test for signatures of balancing selection, allowing genes encoding

Augmented plasma microparticles during acute Plasmodium vivax infection

Malaria Journal, 2010
Background In the last few years, the study of microparticles (MPs) - submicron vesicles released from cells upon activation or apoptosis - has gained growing interest in the field of inflammation and in infectious diseases.

Systems approach identifies monocyte imbalance in symptomatic and asymptomatic P. vivax malaria

Molecular Systems Biology
Although asymptomatic malaria was historically perceived as innocuous, emerging evidence revealed an immunosuppressive signature induced by asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections. To examine if a similar process occurs in Plasmodium vivax malaria,
