Chagas Disease: Increased Parasitemia during Pregnancy Detected by Hemoculture [PDF]
One hundred fifty-two Trypanosoma cruzi seropositive women were submitted to a single hemoculture; 101 were pregnant, and 51 were not pregnant. Seven tubes from each individual were harvested with liver infusion tryptose (LIT) medium and observed monthly until the fifth month. Hemocultures were positive in 50% (76 of 152) of the women.

Mosquito Infectivity and Parasitemia after Controlled Human Malaria Infection [PDF]
Controlled Human Malaria Infection (CHMI) has become an increasingly important tool for the evaluation of drugs and vaccines. Controlled Human Malaria Infection has been demonstrated to be a reproducible model; however, there is some variability in time to onset of parasitemia between volunteers and studies.

Virulence of malaria is associated with differential expression of Plasmodium falciparum var gene subgroups in a case-control study [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a major pathogenicity factor in falciparum malaria that mediates cytoadherence. PfEMP1 is encoded by approximately 60 var genes per haploid genome.

ABSTRACT Plant extracts are an important raw material for the development of new drugs. Rumex obtusifolius L., popularly known as ‘bitter dock’, has significant pharmacological properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antitrypanosomal activity of aqueous, hydroethanolic and ethanolic extracts from the leaf and roots of R. obtusifolius L.

Whole-genome sequencing of trypanosoma brucei reveals introgression between subspecies that is associated with virulence [PDF]
Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei. Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense is found in East Africa and frequently causes acute disease, while Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is found in West Africa and is associated with

Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

High Incidence of Severe Parasitemia in Falciparum Malaria [PDF]
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
