Use of a Chagas Urine Nanoparticle Test (Chunap) to Correlate with Parasitemia Levels in T. cruzi/HIV Co-infected Patients

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background Early diagnosis of reactivated Chagas disease in HIV patients could be lifesaving. In Latin America, the diagnosis is made by microscopical detection of the T. cruzi parasite in the blood; a diagnostic test that lacks sensitivity.

Parasite Burden of Trypanosoma cruzi in Whole Blood and Buffy Coat Determined by Real-Time PCR in Individuals with Chronic Chagas Disease

Microorganisms
The objective of this study was to compare, by qPCR, the circulating blood parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi in the buffy coat, and in whole blood mixed with boiled and unboiled guanidine hydrochloride-EDTA buffer, of individuals with chronic ChD.

An Automated Microscopic Malaria Parasite Detection System Using Digital Image Analysis

Diagnostics, 2021
Rapid diagnosis and parasitemia measurement is crucial for management of malaria. Microscopic examination of peripheral blood (PB) smears is the gold standard for malaria detection. However, this method is labor-intensive.

Independence from kinetoplast DNA maintenance and expression is associated with multi-drug resistance in Trypanosoma brucei in vitro [PDF]

, 2014
It is well known that several antitrypanosomatid drugs accumulate in the parasite's mitochondrion, where they often bind to the organellar DNA, the kinetoplast.

Acute Plasmodium yoelii 17XNL Infection During BCG Vaccination Limits T Cell Responses and Mycobacterial Growth Inhibition

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tuberculosis and malaria overlap in many sub‐Saharan African countries where BCG vaccination is routinely administered. The aim of this study was to determine whether the timing of BCG vaccination in relation to a malaria infection has implications for BCG vaccine efficacy.

In vivo assessment of drug efficacy against Plasmodium falciparum malaria: duration of follow-up. [PDF]

, 2004
To determine the optimum duration of follow-up for the assessment of drug efficacy against Plasmodium falciparum malaria, 96 trial arms from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with follow-up of 28 days or longer that were conducted between 1990 and 2003

Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.

Association of TLR variants with susceptibility to Plasmodium vivax malaria and parasitemia in the Amazon region of Brazil

PLoS ONE, 2017
Background Plasmodium vivax malaria (Pv-malaria) is still considered a neglected disease despite an alarming number of individuals being infected annually.

High Incidence of Severe Parasitemia in Falciparum Malaria [PDF]

Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2002
Dear Editor, In response to the communication by Lt Col D Rosha et al [1], I would like to put on record our experiences with falciparum malaria in an Air Force station situated in a semi-hilly, densely forested, tribal, highly malarious belt in Central India. Meterological and topographical features in this belt ensure heavy transmission of malaria
