A model for malaria treatment evaluation in the presence of multiple species [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Plasmodium (P.) falciparum and P. vivax are the two most common causes of malaria. While the majority of deaths and severe morbidity are due to P. falciparum, P. vivax poses a greater challenge to eliminating malaria outside of Africa due to its ability to form latent liver stage parasites (hypnozoites), which can cause relapsing episodes within an ...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation presenting as symmetrical peripheral gangrene: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2019 Introduction Plasmodium vivax was traditionally thought to be benign; however, nowadays it presents with a myriad of systemic complications like cerebral malaria, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute kidney injury, acute pancreatitis, hepatic ...

A hybrid transmission model for Plasmodium vivax accounting for superinfection, immunity and the hypnozoite reservoir [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Malaria is a vector-borne disease that exacts a grave toll in the Global South. The epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax, the most geographically expansive agent of human malaria, is characterised by the accrual of a reservoir of dormant parasites known as hypnozoites.

Geographical variation in Plasmodium vivax relapse [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2014 Plasmodium vivax has the widest geographic distribution of the human malaria parasites and nearly 2.5 billion people live at risk of infection. The control of P. vivax in individuals and populations is complicated by its ability to relapse weeks to months after initial infection. Strains of P.

Orangutans Not Infected with Plasmodium vivax or P. cynomolgi, Indonesia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 After orangutans in Indonesia were reported as infected with Plasmodium cynomolgi and P. vivax, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences of Plasmodium spp.

On electrical correlates of Physarum polycephalum spatial activity: Can we see Physarum Machine in the dark? [PDF]
Biophysical Reviews and Letters 6 (2011) 29-57, 2010 Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye, which spans sources of nutrients with its protoplasmic network. In a very simple experimental setup we recorded electric potential of the propagating plasmodium. We discovered a complex interplay of short range oscillatory behaviour combined with long range, low frequency ...

Genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum in Honduras [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2012 Abstract Background Understanding the population structure of Plasmodium species through genetic diversity studies can assist in the design of more effective malaria control strategies, particularly in vaccine development.

Superinfection and the hypnozoite reservoir for Plasmodium vivax: a general framework [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Malaria is a parasitic disease, transmitted by mosquito vectors. Plasmodium vivax presents particular challenges for disease control, in light of an undetectable reservoir of latent parasites (hypnozoites) within the host liver. Superinfection, which is driven by temporally proximate mosquito inoculation and/or hypnozoite activation events, is an ...

Physarum boats: If plasmodium sailed it would never leave a port [PDF]
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, Volume 7, Issue 1 March 2010 ,
pages 31 - 39, 2009 Plasmodium of \emph{Physarum polycephalum} is a single huge (visible by naked eye) cell with myriad of nuclei. The plasmodium is a promising substrate for non-classical, nature-inspired, computing devices. It is capable for approximation of shortest path, computation of planar proximity graphs and plane tessellations, primitive memory and decision ...
