infections

Despite prolonged and intense effort to understand and control the health impact of malaria morbidity and mortality, malaria remains third in the global ranking for severe and fatal infections.

A cross-sectional study was performed in children 5 through 10 years of age presenting to outpatient clinics in Nyanza Province, Kenya, in which nasal swab and blood specimens were collected during the high malaria transmission season.

The objective of this review is to summarize the existing evidence on the relative efficacy and safety of CQ in treating patients with uncomplicated P. vivax malaria in endemic countries.

We examined these issues with a study of experimental single-clone infections for the lizard malaria parasite Plasmodium mexicanum in its natural host.

This is the first study to indicate therapeutic potential of HDAs against various parasitic protozoa. It also points out that the malarial liver stage growth inhibitory effect of the 2-HDA may be promoted via PfFAS-II enzymes.

During the survey, 9,491 blood samples were collected and examined by microscopy for Plasmodium species and density, with a subset also examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).

To understand the consequence of co-infection with P.y17XL and P.cAS, we determined the proliferation curve of parasites, pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokine profiles, and the dynamic changes of the number of Tregs in DBA/2 and BALB/c mice with single or mixed-species infections.

Vaccination has been a successful tool in the protection against many infectious diseases, and recent advances in biotechnology have created new techniques and strategies to produce safe and efficacious vaccines for human use.

This study further validates LAMP as an alternative molecular diagnostic tool, which can be used in the diagnosis of early infections of malaria cases and together with nPCR can also be used as supplementary methods for clinical and epidemiological use.
