Strategies for Understanding and Reducing the Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale Hypnozoite Reservoir in Papua New Guinean Children: A Randomised Placebo-Controlled Trial and Mathematical Model [PDF]
The undetectable hypnozoite reservoir for relapsing Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale malarias presents a major challenge for malaria control and elimination in endemic countries.

18F‐Radiopharmaceutical Diversification Enabled by Deaminative Cross‐Electrophile Couplings
A general Ni‐mediated (C)sp2–(C)sp3 cross‐coupling expedites access to 18F‐radiopharmaceuticals, essential for positron emission tomography imaging and drug discovery. This late‐stage diversification approach was implemented across three user‐friendly automated protocols affording 18F‐radiotracers in sufficient quantities for imaging.

Lead clinical and pre-clinical antimalarial drugs can significantly reduce sporozoite transmission to vertebrate populations [PDF]
To achieve malarial elimination we must employ interventions that reduce the exposure of human populations to infectious mosquitoes. To this end, numerous anti-malarial drugs are under assessment in a variety of transmission-blocking assays which fail to

Mode of action and choice of antimalarial drugs for intermittent preventive treatment in infants.
Intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) is an effective and safe malaria control strategy. However, it remains unclear what antimalarials should be used to replace sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) when and where SP is no longer an effective ...

Safety and Efficacy of Adding a Single Low Dose of Primaquine to the Treatment of Adult Patients With Plasmodium falciparum Malaria in Senegal, to Reduce Gametocyte Carriage: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
Introduction: More information is needed about the safety of low-dose primaquine in populations where G6PD deficiency is common. Methods: Adults with Plasmodium falciparum malaria were randomized to receive 1 of 3 artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs)

CYP2D6 Allele Frequency in Five Malaria Vivax Endemic Areas From Brazilian Amazon Region
Genetic variability was linked with individual responses to treatment and susceptibility to malaria by Plasmodium vivax. Polymorphisms in the CYP2D6 gene may modulate enzyme level and activity, thereby affecting individual responses to pharmacological ...

Are transnational tobacco companies' market access strategies linked to economic development models? A case study of South Korea. [PDF]
Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) have used varied strategies to access previously closed markets. Using TTCs' efforts to enter the South Korean market from the late 1980s as a case study, this article asks whether there are common patterns in these

Relapse of imported
Background Relapsing Plasmodium vivax infection results in significant morbidity for the individual and is a key factor in transmission. Primaquine remains the only licensed drug for prevention of relapse.

G6PD Variants and Haemolytic Sensitivity to Primaquine and Other Drugs
Restrictions on the cultivation and ingestion of fava beans were first reported as early as the fifth century BC. Not until the late 19th century were clinical descriptions of fava-induced disease reported and soon after characterised as “favism” in the ...
