Characterisation of Plasmodium vivax lactate dehydrogenase dynamics in P. vivax infections [PDF]

Communications Biology
Plasmodium vivax lactate dehydrogenase (PvLDH) is an essential enzyme in the glycolytic pathway of P. vivax. It is widely used as a diagnostic biomarker and a measure of total-body parasite biomass in vivax malaria. However, the dynamics of PvLDH remains

Contrasting epidemiology and genetic variation of Plasmodium vivax infecting Duffy-negative individuals across Africa

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021
Objectives: Plasmodium vivax malaria was thought to be rare in Africans who lack the Duffy blood group antigen expression. However, recent studies indicate that P.

Thrombocytopenia in malaria and its diagnostic significance: A prospective study

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2023
Background: Thrombocytopenia is a common finding in malaria. Although a reliable diagnostic marker, prognostic implications could vary in the types of malaria.

Validation of micro-chip based PCR assays for diagnosis of both Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2022
Background & objectives: Microscopy is considered as the gold standard for malaria diagnosis, however sub-microscopic infections can only be detected by Polymerase chain reaction, which demands high cost and elaborate laboratory setup. The Micro-chip PCR

Frequency of Thrombocytopenia in Malaria and its prognostic significance

Journal of University Medical & Dental College, 2023
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Thrombocytopenia is a common hematological manifestation of malaria, but locally there is limited data on the association of thrombocytopenia degree and malarial species in Pakistan.

Limited polymorphism in k13 gene of Plasmodium falciparum and k12 of Plasmodium vivax isolates imported from African and Asian countries between 2014 and 2019 in Hangzhou city, China

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Malaria causes major public health problems globally and drug resistance hinders its control and elimination. Molecular markers associated with drug resistance are considered as a beneficial tool to monitor the disease trends, evolution and ...

Molecular evidence of Plasmodium vivax mono and mixed malaria parasite infections in Duffy-negative native Cameroonians. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is known to be majorly endemic to Asian and Latin American countries with no or very few reports of Africans infected with this parasite. Since the human Duffy antigens act as receptors for P.

Immunity to malaria in Plasmodium vivax infection: a study in central China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
P. vivax infection is characterised by relapsing fever, indicating reinfection by previously hidden parasites in the host. Relapsed infection can lead to the activation of the memory T cell pool, which may lead to protective immunity.
