Cost-effectiveness of malaria diagnosis using rapid diagnostic tests compared to microscopy or clinical symptoms alone in Afghanistan [PDF]

, 2015
Background Improving access to parasitological diagnosis of malaria is a central strategy for control and elimination of the disease. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are relatively easy to perform and could be used in primary level clinics to ...

Prevalence and Diversity of Haemosporidian–Associated Matryoshka RNA Viruses in a Natural Population of Wild Birds

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of Matryoshka RNA viruses (MaRNAV) in wild birds in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Using RNA sequencing and RT‐PCR, we identified two novel MaRNAVs (MaRNAV‐5 and ‐6) associated with haemosporidian infections in passerines and raptors. These findings suggest a high prevalence of these viruses,

Plasmodium vivax malaria: Is it actually benign?

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2011
Plasmodium vivax (Pv) malaria is being increasingly recognized as a cause of severe malaria in children.To describe the various severe manifestations associated with vivax malaria by retrospective analysis of records.Children between the ages of 0 and 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of Pv malaria monoinfection done by peripheral blood film (PBF ...

Low-level Plasmodium vivax exposure, maternal antibodies, and anemia in early childhood: Population-based birth cohort study in Amazonian Brazil.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundMalaria causes significant morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years of age in sub-Saharan Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. Neonates and young infants remain relatively protected from clinical disease and the transplacental transfer ...

Increasingly inbred and fragmented populations of Plasmodium vivax associated with the eastward decline in malaria transmission across the Southwest Pacific

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is more resistant to malaria control strategies than Plasmodium falciparum, and maintains high genetic diversity even when transmission is low. To investigate whether declining P.

Knowledge Attitudes and Practices Regarding Malaria and HIV in People Living in Rural Ghana

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction The realization of malaria and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) control in any community cannot be effective if the said community's knowledge and application of control mechanisms are not appropriately defined. However, knowledge, attitudes, and practices studies regarding malaria and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV ...

Neutrophil Paralysis in Plasmodium vivax Malaria

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
The activation of innate immune responses by Plasmodium vivax results in activation of effector cells and an excessive production of pro-inflammatory cytokines that may culminate in deleterious effects. Here, we examined the activation and function of neutrophils during acute episodes of malaria.Blood samples were collected from P.

A histopathologic study of fatal paediatric cerebral malaria caused by mixed Plasmodium falciparum/Plasmodium vivax infections

Malaria Journal, 2012
Microvascular sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum underlies cerebral malaria. Despite suggestive ex vivo evidence, this phenomenon has not been convincingly demonstrated in coma complicating Plasmodium vivax malaria.

Deep unsupervised learning for Microscopy-Based Malaria detection [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite, kills over 1 million people globally each year. People, if left untreated, may develop severe complications, leading to death. Effective and accurate diagnosis is important for the management and control of malaria.
