Virulence of malaria is associated with differential expression of Plasmodium falciparum var gene subgroups in a case-control study [PDF]

, 2006
Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) is a major pathogenicity factor in falciparum malaria that mediates cytoadherence. PfEMP1 is encoded by approximately 60 var genes per haploid genome.

Prospective of indigenous African wild food plants in alleviation of the severe iron deficiency anaemia in Sub‐Saharan Africa

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Iron deficiency anaemia remains a major public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, where population growth, displacement and limited resources heighten nutritional insecurity. We compiled a list of indigenous African underutilized wild food plants and examined their potential for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.

On an Aggregation Theory for Indicators Expressing Behaviors of Complex Systems With an Application to Sustainability

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certain attributes of large‐scale complex systems are often expressed through sets of indicators. For example, the sustainability of an entity, be it a nation, a city, an energy system, a corporation etc., can be effectively represented by indicators and corresponding data series.

Impact of Malaria Severity on Serum Levels of Hepcidin and Iron Status in Children

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2019
Malaria is a life threatening disease and one of the leading causes of death in Africa especially in children. This study aimed to assess the impact of malaria on levels of hepcidin and iron status (haemoglobin, serum iron and total iron binding capacity)

The treatment of severe malaria

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
In the SEAQUAMAT trial, parenteral artesunate was shown to be associated with a considerably lower mortality than quinine, and is now the recommended treatment for severe malaria in low-transmission areas and in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. A trial is underway to establish its role in African children.
