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.

ABSTRACT Treatment of breastfeeding mothers with malaria is challenging due to the lack of information describing drug exposure in milk and the daily dose to the breastfed infant. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling was used to predict milk‐to‐plasma (M/P) ratios, infant daily doses (IDD) and relative infant doses (RID) for five ...

Human Infections with Plasmodium knowlesi, the Philippines. [PDF]
Five human cases of infection with the simian malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi from Palawan, the Philippines, were confirmed by nested PCR. This study suggests that this zoonotic infection is found across a relatively wide area in Palawan and ...

Host Disease Tolerance Predicts Transmission Probability for a Songbird Pathogen
The effects of host disease tolerance on pathogen transmission are not well understood. Here, we use wild‐caught house finches to show that natural variation in tissue‐specific tolerance to a bacterial pathogen affects the transmission of this pathogen.

Pharmacometric and statistical considerations for dose optimization
Abstract The probability of target attainment (PTA) is a common metric in drug dose optimization, but it requires a specific known target concentration threshold. Such target thresholds are not always available for some treatments, and patient and disease groups, particularly when treating children.

ABSTRACT Pharmacogenetic testing provides patient genotype information which could influence medication selection and dosing for optimal patient care. Insurance coverage for pharmacogenetic testing varies widely. A better understanding of the commonly used medications with clinically important pharmacogenetic recommendations can inform which ...

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

Standard Protocols for Characterising Primary and In Vitro‐Generated Human Hepatocytes
ABSTRACT Hepatocyte‐like cells (HLCs) derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or direct reprogramming are an unlimited source of human hepatocytes for biomedical applications. HLCs are used to model human diseases, develop precise drugs and establish groundbreaking regenerative cell‐based therapies.
