Molecular identification of Plasmodium species in symptomatic children of Democratic Republic of Congo

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Worldwide, the highest malaria mortality is due to Plasmodium falciparum infection. However, other species of Plasmodium (Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi) can also cause malaria.

Prevalence of non-Plasmodium falciparum species in southern districts of Brazzaville in The Republic of the Congo

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Although Plasmodium falciparum infection is largely documented and this parasite is the main target for malaria eradication, other Plasmodium species persist, and these require more attention in Africa.

Genetic diversity of three surface protein genes in Plasmodium malariae from three Asian countries

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Genetic diversity of the three important antigenic proteins, namely thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP), apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1), and 6-cysteine protein (P48/45), all of which are found in various developmental stages of ...

A systematic review of transfusion-transmitted malaria in non-endemic areas

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) is an accidental Plasmodium infection caused by whole blood or a blood component transfusion from a malaria infected donor to a recipient.

Apigenin Protects Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Regulating Trx1 Through Binding to PRDX2

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most severe stroke subtype with high mortality and disability rates. Although apigenin has shown cerebroprotective potential in preclinical studies, its mechanism of action, particularly in hypertensive ICH, remains poorly understood.

Plasmodium malariae in Haitian Refugees, Jamaica

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Since 1963, reported malaria transmission in Haiti has been restricted to Plasmodium falciparum. However, screening of Haitian refugees in Jamaica in 2004, by microscopic examination, identified P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae. PCR confirmed the

Donor management implications for high‐sensitivity detection of low‐level malaria parasitemia in blood donor screening

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Transfusion‐transmitted malaria can occur when donors have unrecognized asymptomatic infection with submicroscopic parasitemia, highlighting the need to detect low‐level parasitemia in blood donor screening. However, these highly sensitive blood donor testing algorithms may refer donors to clinicians who use diagnostic algorithms ...

Budget impact of implementing universal Plasmodium NAT screening in the blood transfusion system in the US

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood donor deferral for malaria risk relies exclusively on responses to self‐reported questionnaires. This study evaluated the economic impact of introducing Plasmodium nucleic acid testing (NAT) as a universal screening strategy in the United States.

Submicroscopic placental infection by non-falciparum Plasmodium spp.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
BackgroundAmong the Plasmodium species that infect humans, adverse effects of P. falciparum and P. vivax have been extensively studied and reported with respect to poor outcomes particularly in first time mothers and in pregnant women living in areas ...

Genetic analysis of the orthologous crt and mdr1 genes in Plasmodium malariae from Thailand and Myanmar

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Plasmodium malariae is a widely spread but neglected human malaria parasite, which causes chronic infections. Studies on genetic polymorphisms of anti-malarial drug target genes in P. malariae are limited.
