A review on malaria eradication: what hope for Nigeria?

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2016
Malaria and its transmitting vectors are household names. Malaria which helped Africa from the venomous fangs of colonialism has turned to be the bane of development in tropical countries including Nigeria.

Persistent transmission of Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale species in an area of declining Plasmodium falciparum transmission in eastern Tanzania

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
A reduction in the global burden of malaria over the past two decades has encouraged efforts for regional malaria elimination. Despite the need to target all Plasmodium species, current focus is mainly directed towards Plasmodium falciparum, and to a ...

Plasmodium Vivax Infection Impersonating Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria

The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2014
A 73-year-old woman came to the casualty ward with symptoms of syncopal attacks, weakness, fever with chills and rigors. A provisional diagnosis of Plasmodium vivax malaria was made after the blood investigations. She had deranged renal function tests, altered sensorium and low platelet count. Repeated tests for P. falciparum (Card test) were negative.

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Brief introduction in phenotypic and genetic differences of C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice substrains

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This article briefly reviews the origin, differentiation, and phenotypic and genetic differences between the C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse substrains. Abstract Experimental mice play a critical role in biomedical research. The phenotype and application of different substrains vary due to genetic differentiation and variation.

Pharmacogenomics in clinical practice: Biomarker information in Brazilian drug labels

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review examines the PGx annotations in package inserts (bulas in Brazilian Portuguese) approved by ANVISA, the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency, for 19 gene–drug pairs with strong or moderate recommendations for initial dosing alteration in the CPIC (Clinical Pharmacogenetic Implementation Consortion) guidelines and PGx testing required or ...

Antimalarial potential of Kerala Ayurvedic Water “Pathimugam”

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: The persistent threat of drug resistant malaria demands new cures. Low prevalence of malaria in the Indian state of Kerala compared with other proximal states led us to explore if there is any traditional practice in Kerala which

A Gut Symbiotic Bacterium Serratia marcescens Renders Mosquito Resistance to Plasmodium Infection Through Activation of Mosquito Immune Responses

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The malaria development in the mosquito midgut is a complex process that results in considerable parasite losses. The mosquito gut microbiota influences the outcome of pathogen infection in mosquitoes, but the underlying mechanisms through which gut ...
