parasitaemia

The empirical map of malaria parasitaemia risk for Uganda presented in this paper is the first based on coherent, national survey data, and can serve as a baseline to guide and evaluate the continuous implementation of control activities.

The baseline malaria epidemiology suggests a high malaria transmission in the mining area prior to the start of mining activities.

Malaria-infection in mice results in a wide perturbation of the host serum proteome involving a range of proteins and functions.

Peer counselling for exclusive breastfeeding did not decrease the prevalence of malaria parasitaemia.

Mass blood surveys were carried out among TSR personnel and villagers during 2007 to 2009. Malaria diagnosis through blood smear examination and rapid detection kits was done, and percentage parasitaemia was determined.

All participants were positive for at least one malaria protein by ELISA, with results dependent on the criteria for positivity.

This research demonstrates the feasibility of using population-based behavioural and molecular surveillance in conjunction with DHS data and geographic methods to study endemic infectious diseases.

The diversity in the Plasmodium falciparum genome can be used to explore parasite population dynamics, with practical applications to malaria control.

We report a clinical case of severe malaria, where the rate of initial parasitaemia by Plasmodium falciparum was 43 %. Multiple organ dysfunction, including ARDS, forced admission in a close surveillance unit, with survival of the same.

In this study, 101 patients with massive splenomegaly (MS) and 41 with moderate splenomegaly (MoS) from Kassala, Eastern Sudan, were included.
