Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires immunity and detoxification gene regulation by Lola

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Malaria mosquito antimicrobial defence requires upregulation of lola. Attenuation of lola in the midgut of Anopheles albimanus mosquitoes inhibits the upregulation of immunity genes induced by challenge. Putative target genes of the Lola transcription factor were revealed by lola attenuation, including Cecropin‐C, Draper, PPAF2, Clip‐domain serine ...

Anaemia Among Mother–Child Dyads in India: Trends, Drivers, and Future Projections

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaemia among mothers and their children is a widespread public health challenge with profound consequences for individuals and societies. While anaemia has been studied separately in women and children, there remains a literature gap examining anaemia in mother‐child dyads, limiting insights on interventions that may simultaneously address ...

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Placental malaria and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Majang Zone of Gambella Region, Southwest Ethiopia: a histopathological and molecular study

Malaria Journal
Background Placental malaria (PM) is characterized by Plasmodium parasite sequestration in the placenta. It is responsible for various adverse pregnancy outcomes, including maternal anaemia and low birth weight (LBW).

Characterization of Sec14 Domain–Containing Proteins in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
During asexual blood‐stage development, P. falciparum Sec14 proteins display distinct localizations suggesting specialized roles in lipid exchange. PfSec14‐1 initially localizes to the nucleus before moving to the ER and Golgi alongside PfSec14‐4 during schizogony.

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

Uncomplicated Malaria in Infancy and Neurodevelopment at 1 and 6 Years: Evidence From the MiPPAD Birth Cohort Study of Benin

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In malaria‐endemic regions, repeated episodes of uncomplicated malaria during infancy are common; however, their associations with neurodevelopment remain unclear. We examined relationships between malaria frequency in infancy and neurodevelopmental outcomes in early and middle childhood, using data from the APEC birth cohort nested within the

Validation of Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behaviour Constructs for Predicting Malaria Vaccine Acceptance in Ghana: A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling Approach

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study examines the predictive power of constructs from the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in explaining malaria vaccine acceptance in Ghana in the post‐COVID‐19 era, while also assessing the reliability of these constructs within this context.
