The role of research in viral disease eradication and elimination programs: Lessons for malaria eradication [PDF]

, 2011
By examining the role research has played in eradication or regional elimination initiatives for three viral diseases-smallpox, poliomyelitis, and measles-we derive nine cross-cutting lessons applicable to malaria eradication.

The role of cytokines in Plasmodium vivax malaria [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1992
The cytokine tumor necrosis factor and other as yet unidentified factor(s) which together mediate the killing of intraerythrocytic malaria parasites are transiently elevated in sera during paroxysms in human Plasmodium vivax infections in non-immunes.

Malaria in children of Tshimbulu (Western Kasai, Democratic Republic of the Congo): epidemiological data and accuracy of diagnostic assays applied in a limited resource setting [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The literature data on malaria in Western Kasai, DRC, are limited and inadequate. A recent molecular survey there has detected Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae as mixed infections with Plasmodium falciparum.

Malaria in Pregnancy and Predisposing Factors in Jor District of Gambella Region, Southwest Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Malaria in pregnancy remains a major public health concern in Ethiopia, particularly in high‐endemic regions like Gambella. Despite the high burden, no peer‐reviewed published study exists on its prevalence and associated risk factors among pregnant women in Jor District, Gambella region.

Molecular identification of Plasmodium species responsible for malaria reveals Plasmodium vivax isolates in Duffy negative individuals from southwestern Nigeria

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Malaria in Nigeria is principally due to Plasmodium falciparum and, to a lesser extent to Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale. Plasmodium vivax is thought to be absent in Nigeria in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general, due to the

Frequent expansion of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein in Ethiopia and its epidemiological significance. [PDF]

, 2019
Plasmodium vivax invasion of human erythrocytes depends on the Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) which interacts with the Duffy antigen. PvDBP copy number has been recently shown to vary between P. vivax isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the extent of

Immunoinformatics‐Based Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Design Against P. falciparum‐Causing Malaria: A Computational Approach

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Malaria is an infectious disease that affects people in Africa, and other parts of the world by the millions. Despite the effectiveness of artemisinin‐based combination therapies against the disease, current findings on possible Plasmodium resistance to artemisinin warrants an exploration of new treatment options. This study

Molecular evidence of Plasmodium vivax infection in Duffy negative symptomatic individuals from Dschang, West Cameroon [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Plasmodium vivax infection is known to be rare in West/Central Africa, the most accepted explanation being the lack of expression of erythroid Duffy antigen in the local human populations.

Insights into the Cytoadherence Phenomenon of Plasmodium vivax: The Putative Role of Phosphatidylserine

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread and the dominant human malaria parasite in most countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa and, although it was classically recognized to cause benign infection, severe cases and deaths caused by P ...
