An ultrasensitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay to detect asymptomatic low-density Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax infections in small volume blood samples. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundHighly sensitive, scalable diagnostic methods are needed to guide malaria elimination interventions. While traditional microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are suitable for the diagnosis of symptomatic malaria infection, more sensitive ...

Return of vivax malaria in Cyprus
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2018 Malaria elimination in Europe has been the focus of significant national and international effort, and in 2015 the WHO declared for the first time that there were no indigenous cases of malaria in the WHO European region.1 However, since that time there have been several localised outbreaks of malaria in countries throughout Europe. We report two cases

Unstable vivax malaria in Korea [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2000 Korean vivax malaria had been prevalent for longtime throughout the country with low endemicity. As a result of the Korean war (1950-1953), malaria became epidemic. In 1959-1969 when the National Malaria Eradication Service (NMES) was implemented, malaria rates declined, with low endemicity in the south-west and south plain areas and high endemic foci ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Plasmodium vivax can cause severe malaria, however its pathogenesis is poorly understood. In contrast to P. falciparum, circulating vivax parasitemia is low, with minimal apparent sequestration in endothelium-lined microvasculature, and pathogenesis ...

KAI407, a potent non-8-aminoquinoline compound that kills Plasmodium cynomolgi early dormant liver stage parasites in vitro. [PDF]
, 2014 Preventing relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria through a radical cure depends on use of the 8-aminoquinoline primaquine, which is associated with safety and compliance issues.

Prevention and treatment of vivax malaria
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2007 Plasmodium vivax is a significant public health threat throughout most of the tropics and to travelers to these regions. The infection causes a debilitating febrile syndrome that often recurs and in rare cases ends in death. The complex life cycle of the parasite compounds the difficulty of prevention and treatment, principally due to the phenomenon of

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2018 Background Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread species among human malaria parasites. Immunopathological studies have shown that platelets are an important component of the host innate immune response against malaria infections.

Cost-effectiveness of malaria diagnosis using rapid diagnostic tests compared to microscopy or clinical symptoms alone in Afghanistan [PDF]
, 2015 Background Improving access to parasitological diagnosis of malaria is a central strategy for control and elimination of the disease. Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are relatively easy to perform and could be used in primary level clinics to ...
