Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

Parenteral iron—Does it increase infection risk?

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are prevalent conditions impacting various patient populations, both surgical and non‐surgical conditions. The advent of patient blood management (PBM) has promoted intravenous (IV) iron therapy as an alternative to oral iron and blood transfusions.

plasmodium

, 2018
The mono-eukaryotic parasite Plasmodium falciparum, pathogen of malaria tropica cannot survive on its own likely due to an evolutionary incomplete protein glycosylation, lacking the basic sugar, GalNAc and Glc-GalNAc epimerizations, therefore requires the biological altruism and host cell machinery of a higher eukaryotic species.

Transfusion‐transmitted malaria in India: A national survey of epidemiology and testing practices

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Malaria still poses a public health burden in India despite ongoing elimination efforts. Blood donor screening for malaria is mandated in India, yet data on transfusion‐transmitted malaria (TTM) are lacking. We sought to evaluate testing practices for malaria, associated rates of positivity in donors and reported ...

Immunological Interactions Between Gammadelta T Cells and West Nile Virus in the Infected Host

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Between mosquitoes and birds, West Nile virus (WNV) is a neurotropic flavivirus, an arthropod‐borne pathogen involved in an enzootic cycle. Additionally, it can infect both people and horses, leading to severe illness. Since 1999, WNV has spread across North and South America, including Mexico and the Caribbean.

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

Quantitative trait loci mapping reveals candidate pathways regulating cell cycle duration in \u3cem\u3ePlasmodium falciparum\u3c/em\u3e

, 2010
Background: Elevated parasite biomass in the human red blood cells can lead to increased malaria morbidity. The genes and mechanisms regulating growth and development of Plasmodium falciparum through its erythrocytic cycle are not well understood.

Ecology of Malaria Mortality: A Spatiotemporal Mapping Approach

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study examines the spatiotemporal ecology of probable malaria mortality in 19th‐century southern Ontario to evaluate how settlement expansion, landscape transformation, and infrastructure development structured transmission risk in a temperate, settler‐colonial context.
