Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

Duffy blood group genotypes among malaria patients in Rondônia, Western Brazilian Amazon Genótipos do sistema sanguíneo Duffy em pacientes maláricos de Rondônia, Amazônia Ocidental Brasileira

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2001
We have compared Duffy blood group genotype distribution, as determined by polymerase chain reaction with allele-specific primers, in 68 Plasmodium vivax-infected patients and 59 non-vivax malaria controls from Rondônia, Brazil.

Malaria in children of Tshimbulu (Western Kasai, Democratic Republic of the Congo): epidemiological data and accuracy of diagnostic assays applied in a limited resource setting [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The literature data on malaria in Western Kasai, DRC, are limited and inadequate. A recent molecular survey there has detected Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae as mixed infections with Plasmodium falciparum.

Crystal structure of Plasmodium vivax macrophage migration inhibitory factor

Acta Crystallographica Section F, EarlyView.
The production, crystallization and 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of macrophage migratory inhibitory factor from P. vivax are reported.Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of malaria globally and has recently been transmitted locally in the USA. P. vivax produces homologs of host proteins, including cytokines such as macrophage migration inhibitory ...

Whole genome sequencing of field isolates reveals a common duplication of the Duffy binding protein gene in Malagasy Plasmodium vivax strains. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
Plasmodium vivax is the most prevalent human malaria parasite, causing serious public health problems in malaria-endemic countries. Until recently the Duffy-negative blood group phenotype was considered to confer resistance to vivax malaria for most ...

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.

Limitations of microscopy to differentiate Plasmodium species in a region co-endemic for Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium knowlesi [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundIn areas co-endemic for multiple Plasmodium species, correct diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment and surveillance. Species misidentification by microscopy has been reported in areas co-endemic for vivax and falciparum malaria, and ...

Primaquine Reduces P vivax Parasitemia Risk

Molecular Medicine Communications, 2023
In areas where both P falciparum and P vivax are co-endemic, and a patient is diagnosed with P falciparum malaria, the standard practice is to treat the acute infection with an appropriate antimalarial, often an Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). Primaquine is not typically used for treating the acute P falciparum infection.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Systematic review of sub-microscopic P. vivax infections: prevalence and determining factors.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BackgroundSub-microscopic (SM) Plasmodium infections represent transmission reservoirs that could jeopardise malaria elimination goals. A better understanding of the epidemiology of these infections and factors contributing to their occurrence will ...
