Treatment of Vivax Malaria in Vietnam
, 2020 Globally, relapse caused by Plasmodium vivax malaria is estimated to contribute approximately 50% to the overall number of vivax infections. In South-East Asia, relapse rates commonly exceed 50%, making relapse as the main source of vivax illness.

The footprints of relapsing malaria in southwest Delhi, India
Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2015 Background & objectives: Control of vivax malaria is challenging due to persistence of hypnozoites causing relapses and safety concerns with primaquine in G6PD deficient individuals.

Superinfection and the hypnozoite reservoir for Plasmodium vivax: a multitype branching process approximation [PDF]
arXivPlasmodium vivax malaria is a mosquito-borne disease of significant public health importance. A defining feature of the within-host biology of P. vivax is the accrual of a hypnozoite reservoir, comprising a bank of quiescent parasites in the liver that are capable of causing relapsing blood-stage infections upon activation.

Estimating the Malaria Attributable Fever Fraction Accounting for Parasites Being Killed by Fever and Measurement Error [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Malaria is a parasitic disease that is a major health problem in many tropical regions. The most characteristic symptom of malaria is fever. The fraction of fevers that are attributable to malaria, the malaria attributable fever fraction (MAFF), is an important public health measure for assessing the effect of malaria control programs and other ...

The Economics of Vivax Malaria Treatment
, 2018 The control and eventual elimination of malaria will require widescale adoption of strategies to ensure early diagnosis and highly effective treatment of infected individuals. In Plasmodium vivax, multiple relapse episodes can only be averted by treating the dormant liver stage of the parasite life cycle - a strategy known as radical cure.

Telecom data for efficient malaria interventions [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Telecom data is rich on mobility information and as such can be used to identify mobility patterns of people in near real time, enabling to build epidemiological models for understanding where epidemics might spread over time. Based on previous research, we have built an operational tool fed with telecom data which shows malaria risk flows in Zambia in

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

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2014 Background: One of the most important enzymatic disorders that interact with malaria is deficiency of G6PD (Gloucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). This enzyme protects red blood cells from hydrogen peroxide and other oxidative damages. Distribution of this
