- 1From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Haematologic abnormalities are features in Plasmodium falciparum infection, and anaemia is an inevitable outcome. This study examines the influence of malaria status and altitude on haematologic parameters...
- 2From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The merozoite surface protein 1 (msp1) is one of the most studied vaccine candidate genes in mammalian Plasmodium spp. to have been used for investigations of epidemiology, population structures, and...
- 3From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The biting behaviour of mosquitoes is crucial for the transmission of malaria parasites. This study focuses on the feeding behaviour of Culex pipiens mosquitoes with regard to the infection status by the...
- 4From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The close relationship between vector-borne diseases and their environment is well documented, especially for diseases with water-dependent vectors such as avian malaria. Mosquitoes are the primary vectors...
- 5From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are commonly used in Mñdecins Sans Frontières (MSF) programmes to detect acute malaria infection. Programmes in regions with both Plasmodium falciparum and...
- 6From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Based on report of declining efficacy of chloroquine, Ghana shifted to the use of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) in 2005 as the first-line anti-malarial drug. Since then, there has not been any...
- 7From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Recent whole cell in vitro screening campaigns identified thousands of compounds that are active against asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum at submicromolar concentrations. These hits have been...
- 8From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The RTS,S/AS malaria candidate vaccine is being developed with the intent to be delivered, if approved, through the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) of the World Health Organization. Safety,...
- 9From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe WHO Malaria Vaccine Advisory Committee (MALVAC) provides advice to WHO on strategic priorities, activities and technical issues related to global efforts to develop vaccines against malaria. MALVAC convened a series...
- 10From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Uganda. The Ministry of Health (MoH) plans to scale up indoor residual spraying (IRS) for malaria vector control. However, there is limited...
- 11From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Since 2004, the Tanzanian National Voucher Scheme has increased availability and accessibility of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) to pregnant women and infants by subsidizing the cost of nets purchased....
- 12From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Although procurement consumes nearly 40% of Global Fund's money, no analyses have been published to show how costs vary across regions and time. This paper presents an analysis of malaria-related commodity...
- 13From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground During childhood, residents of areas with stable transmission of Plasmodium falciparum parasites acquire substantial protective immunity to malaria, and adults therefore rarely experience clinical disease...
- 14From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground One of the best ways to control the transmission of malaria is by breaking the vector-human link, either by reducing the effective population size of mosquitoes or avoiding infective bites. Reducing house...
- 15From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria morbidity and mortality have been significantly reduced through the proper use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets, but the extra protection afforded by the insecticide diminishes over time. The...
- 16From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria diagnosis is largely dependent on the demonstration of parasites in stained blood films by conventional microscopy. Accurate identification of the infecting Plasmodium species relies on detailed...
- 17From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The recently reported declining burden of malaria in some African countries has been attributed to scaling-up of different interventions although in some areas, these changes started before implementation...
- 18From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Most African countries have adopted artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) as the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. The World Health Organization now recommends limiting anti-malarial...
- 19From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Relatively few programmes have attempted to actively engage the private sector in national malaria control efforts. This paper evaluates the health impact of a large-scale distribution of...
- 20From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Koraput, a predominantly tribe-inhabited and one of the highly endemic districts of Odisha State that contributes a substantial number of malaria cases to the India's total. Control of malaria in such...
