Plasmodium vivax Mimicking Morphologic Features of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

Cureus, 2020
Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) is the most common cause of malaria in Pakistan. Several cases of severe malaria due to P.vivax have been reported from Pakistan and India, however morphological characteristics of the parasite have been mainly ignored. We present two cases of P.

Avian malaria co-infections confound infectivity and vector competence assays of Plasmodium homopolare. [PDF]

, 2018
Currently, there are very few studies of avian malaria that investigate relationships among the host-vector-parasite triad concomitantly. In the current study, we experimentally measured the vector competence of several Culex mosquitoes for a newly ...

Plasmodium vivax gametocytes and transmission

Parasitology International, 2022
Malaria elimination means cessation of parasite transmission. At present, the declining malaria incidence in many countries has made elimination a feasible goal. Transmission control has thus been placed at the center of the national malaria control programs.

Applied genomics: data mining reveals species-specific malaria diagnostic targets more sensitive than 18S rRNA. [PDF]

, 2011
Accurate and rapid diagnosis of malaria infections is crucial for implementing species-appropriate treatment and saving lives. Molecular diagnostic tools are the most accurate and sensitive method of detecting Plasmodium, differentiating between ...

Plasmodium vivax Transmission in Africa

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Malaria in sub-Saharan Africa has historically been almost exclusively attributed to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Current diagnostic and surveillance systems in much of sub-Saharan Africa are not designed to identify or report non-Pf human malaria infections accurately, resulting in a dearth of routine epidemiological data about their significance.

Plasmodium Vivax Infection Impersonating Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria

The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2014
A 73-year-old woman came to the casualty ward with symptoms of syncopal attacks, weakness, fever with chills and rigors. A provisional diagnosis of Plasmodium vivax malaria was made after the blood investigations. She had deranged renal function tests, altered sensorium and low platelet count. Repeated tests for P. falciparum (Card test) were negative.
