Pretreatment gametocyte carriage in symptomatic patients with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax infections on the Thai-Myanmar border

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2021
Background&objectives: Changes in parasite biology, particularly the gametocytogenesis process, could be one of the important contributing factors for worldwide malaria resurgence.

Investigation of P. Vivax Elimination via Mass Drug Administration [PDF]

Epidemics Volume 48 , September 2024, 100789
Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread malaria parasite due to its ability to remain dormant (as a hypnozoite) in the human liver and subsequently reactivate. Given the majority of P. vivax infections are due to hypnozoite reactivation, targeting the hypnozoite reservoir with a radical cure is crucial for achieving P. vivax elimination.

Epidemiology, drug resistance, and pathophysiology of Plasmodium vivax malaria

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2018
Malaria, caused by the protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, is a major health problem in many countries of the world. Five parasite species namely, Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale, and P.

Evaluation of Three Rapid Tests for Diagnosis of P. Falciparum and P. Vivax Malaria in Colombia. [PDF]

, 2006
The diagnostic capacity of three malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), NOW-Malaria-ICT, OptiMAL-IT, and Paracheck-Pf, was evaluated against expert microscopy in Colombia. We tested 896 patients, of whom microscopy confirmed 139 P.

Theoretical implications of a pre-erythrocytic Plasmodium vivax vaccine for preventing relapses [PDF]

, 2017
Preventing malaria infection through vaccination requires preventing every sporozoite inoculated by mosquito bite: a major challenge for Plasmodium falciparum.

Development of an Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Plasmodium Nucleic Acids

iLABMED, EarlyView.
The detection rate of enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) was better than that of the rapid diagnostic test. The ERA assay was more convenient than fluorescence quantitative PCR. The ERA assay can be used as a complementary tool for malaria screening and clinical diagnosis.

Concurrent meningitis and vivax malaria

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2015
Malaria is an endemic infectious disease in India. It is often associated with other infective conditions but concomitant infection of malaria and meningitis are uncommon. We present a case of meningitis with vivax malaria infection in a 24-year-old lady.

Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria in Pakistan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
To compare the severity of Plasmodium vivax malaria with that of P. falciparum malaria, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of 356 adults hospitalized with malaria (2009–2011) in Pakistan. P. vivax and P.

Anti-phosphatidylserine IgM and IgG antibodies are higher in vivax than falciparum malaria, and associated with early anemia in both species.

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND Anemia is a major complication of vivax malaria. Anti-phosphatidylserine (PS) antibodies generated during falciparum malaria mediate phagocytosis of uninfected red blood cells (RBCs) that expose PS, and have been linked to late malarial-anemia.

Malaria in Nonimmune Travelers [PDF]

, 1994
Background: With the current increase of international travel to tropical endemic areas, the incidence of malaria being imported into nonendemic countries has increased significantly.
