Host erythrocyte polymorphisms and exposure to Plasmodium falciparum in Papua New Guinea. [PDF]
Contains fulltext : 69991.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)BACKGROUND: The protection afforded by human erythrocyte polymorphisms against the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has been proposed to be due to reduced ability

Chronic Infection by Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria by Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) usually does not exceed one year, but chronic infection, although rare, is a possibility. We present the clinical case of a 37-year-old male who came to the emergency department with intermittent fever, chills, and malaise. He had malaria more than 1 year ago while working in Huíla province, Angola.

Solar Geoengineering Effects on Malaria Transmission Risk in South Asia Under G6sulfur Scenario
Comparison of EIR (unit: No of infected bites per person per day) for each considered country in South Asia, under the considered scenarios, averaged over the period 2020–2090. A regression equation is shown for each country (for Bhutan EIRG = 0.1690 × 10−10 EIRS + 0.5968 × 10−12) to illustrate the projected trend.

A study of the antimalarial action of Pyronaridine and its accumulation into Plasmodium falciparum
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references.Pyronaridine (PND), a hydroxyanilino-benzonaphthyridine derivative and also a structural analogue of chloroquine, was synthesized in China in the 1970s as a result of a search for alternative drugs to

Background Submicroscopic Plasmodium infections can be a source of persistent malaria transmission. The aim of this study was to assess their frequency, distribution, morbidity and associated factors in a pre-elimination malaria setting in sub-Saharan ...

Analysis of immunogenicity of different protein groups from malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
It was observed that pressure of host immune system leads to diversifying selection (which can be measured in terms of pN/pS ratio). In this research we checked whether Plasmodium falciparum proteins containing experimentally evident epitopes from the ...

Malaria has been a leading cause of death in human populations for centuries and remains a major public health challenge in African countries, especially affecting children. Among the five Plasmodium species infecting humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the

Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...

ABSTRACT Aim Cognitive deficits are commonly reported in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Dietary micronutrient intake is a potential modifiable risk factor whose relationship with cognition in SCD patients remains poorly characterised. This study aimed to determine the association between dietary micronutrient intake and cognition among these ...

Crystal structure of Plasmodium vivax macrophage migration inhibitory factor
The production, crystallization and 1.8 Å resolution crystal structure of macrophage migratory inhibitory factor from P. vivax are reported.Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of malaria globally and has recently been transmitted locally in the USA. P. vivax produces homologs of host proteins, including cytokines such as macrophage migration inhibitory ...
