Epidemiological characteristics of P. vivax asymptomatic infections in the Peruvian Amazon

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionHerein, we tested the hypothesis that Asymptomatic P. vivax (Pv) infected individuals (Asym) feature different epidemiological, clinical and biochemical characteristics, as well as hematological parameters, potentially predictive of clinical ...

Increased tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6 serum levels and their correlation with laboratory parameters in patients with imported malaria [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012
In malaria, blood concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6, are increased. In a study which included 34 patients, TNF-α and IL-6 were examined in two phases, immediately after the ...

Highly Sensitive and Rapid Quantitative Detection of Plasmodium falciparum Using an Image Cytometer

Microorganisms, 2020
The gold standard for malaria diagnosis is microscopic examination of blood films by expert microscopists. It is important to detect submicroscopic and asymptomatic Plasmodium infections in people, therefore the development of highly sensitive devices ...

Antimalarial evaluation of alkyl-linked bis-thiadiazine derivatives in murine model infected with two Plasmodium strains

ADMET and DMPK, 2023
Background and Purpose: Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax are responsible for most malaria cases in humans in the African Region and the Americas; these parasites have developed resistance to classic antimalarial drugs.

Parasitemia and Differential Tissue Tropism in Mice Infected with Trypanosoma cruzi Isolates Obtained from Meccus phyllosoma in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico

Pathogens, 2022
Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasite transmitted by the feces of triatomines. Many triatomine species are found in Mexico, and various T. cruzi variants have been isolated from these species, each showing very different virulence and cell tropism.

Extreme parasitemia in P falciparum malaria [PDF]

Blood, 2018
![Figure][1] A 27-year-old man developed high fever after returning from sub-Saharan Africa. Trying to overcome this febrile illness during his annual leave (winter season), he had medical home visits, but the fever was repeatedly misdiagnosed as a flulike illness and treated with ...

Mannose inhibits Plasmodium parasite growth and cerebral malaria development via regulation of host immune responses

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
D-mannose can be transported into a variety of cells via glucose transporter (GLUT), and supraphysiological levels of D-mannose impairs tumor growth and modulates immune cell function through mechanisms such as interference with glycolysis and induction ...

The Impact of Submicroscopic Parasitemia on Malaria Rapid Diagnosis in Northeastern Tanzania, an Area with Diverse Transmission Patterns

Infectious Disease Reports, 2022
Global malaria epidemiology has changed in the last decade with a substantial increase in cases and deaths being recorded. Tanzania accounts for about 4% of all cases and deaths reported in recent years.

SELF-LIMITED TOXOPLASMA PARASITEMIA AFTER LIVER TRANSPLANTATION [PDF]

Transplantation, 1987
Although toxoplasmosis is often a mild or asymptomatic infection in normal subjects, it may cause lethal disease in immunocompromised patients (1–3). Detection of the disease is difficult and often requires histological evidence. Many cases are diagnosed at autopsy.

Trypanosoma cruzi Infection at the Maternal-Fetal Interface: Implications of Parasite Load in the Congenital Transmission and Challenges in the Diagnosis of Infected Newborns

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan unicellular parasite that causes Chagas disease. It can be transmitted from infected mothers to their babies via the connatal route, thus being able to perpetuate even in the absence of Triatomine insect vectors. Chagas
