ABSTRACT Aim This study examines the predictive power of constructs from the health belief model (HBM) and theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in explaining malaria vaccine acceptance in Ghana in the post‐COVID‐19 era, while also assessing the reliability of these constructs within this context.

A TaqMan real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantitation of
Background The misdiagnosis of Plasmodium knowlesi by microscopy has prompted a re-evaluation of the geographic distribution, prevalence and pathogenesis of this species using molecular diagnostic tools. In this report, a specific probe for P.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Chemical optimization of a novel pyridylpiperazine class yields two promising antimalarial candidates with an exceptional balance of metabolic stability and solubility. These optimized leads significantly protect mice from cerebral malaria, reducing parasitic load by up to 91.7%.

Abstract Malaria eradication requires reducing transmission in endemic areas and maintaining these reductions in areas where elimination has been achieved. In Altamira, a municipality in the Xingu Basin of the Brazilian Amazon, a malaria control program was implemented during the construction of the Belo Monte Dam which eliminated local malaria cases ...

ABSTRACT Although it had been reported that the translation product of the functional aquaporin gene, aqp1, is localized to the contractile vacuole complex of Paramecium multimicronucleatum, the molecules that pass through this channel protein had not been identified. In the present study, we introduced and expressed this protein in Xenopus oocytes and

Presence and potential distribution of malaria-infected New World primates of Costa Rica
Background In South and Central America, Plasmodium malariae/Plasmodium brasilianum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium simium, and Plasmodium falciparum has been reported in New World primates (NWP).

Parasitic infections like schistosomiasis, soil‐transmitted helminths, and malaria can impair nutrient absorption, oxygen supply, and brain function, leading to memory deficits, attention deficits, reduced intelligence quotient, weak academic performance, and motor or executive deficits.
