- 1From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedA comparison was made between local malaria transmission and malaria imported by travellers to identify the utility of national and regional annual parasite index (API) in predicting malaria risk and its value in...
- 2From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground On the borders of Thailand, Plasmodium falciparum has become resistant to nearly all available drugs, and there is an urgent need to find new antimalarial drugs or drug combinations. Ferroquine (SSR97193)...
- 3From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria was endemic in the Rhône-Alpes area of eastern France in the 19.sup.th .sup.century and life expectancy was particularly shortened in Alpine valleys. This study was designed to determine how...
- 4From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Zambia was the first African country to change national antimalarial treatment policy to artemisinin-based combination therapy - artemether-lumefantrine. An evaluation during the early implementation phase...
- 5From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Because of the belief that Nairobi is a low risk zone for malaria, little empirical data exists on malaria risk in the area. The aim of this study was to explore the risk of perceived malaria and some...
- 6From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The Anopheles gambiae sensu lato species complex comprises seven sibling species of mosquitoes that are morphologically indistinguishable. Rapid identification of the two main species which vector malaria,...
- 7From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Quite often symptoms of malaria go unrecognized or untreated. According to the Multilateral Initiative on Malaria, 70% of the malaria cases that are treated at home are mismanaged. Up to 82% of all malaria...
- 8From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedAbstract Background: There is an increase of serum levels of IgE during Plasmodium falciparum infections in individuals living in endemic areas. These IgEs either protect against malaria or increase malaria...
- 9From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Several reports have suggested that raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a major contributor to death among children with cerebral malaria. Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, effectively lowers ICP and is...
- 10From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Larviciding is a key strategy used in many vector control programmes around the world. Costs could be reduced if larvicides could be manufactured locally. The potential of natural products as larvicides...
- 11From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedStudy design Severe falciparum malaria in children was studied as part of the characterization of the Kassena-Nankana District Ghana for future malaria vaccine trials. Children aged 6-59 months with diagnosis...
- 12From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The var multigene family encodes PfEMP1, which are expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes and bind to various host endothelial receptors. Antigenic variation of PfEMP1 plays a key role in...
- 13From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The anti-malarial chloroquine can modulate the outcome of infection during the Plasmodium sporogonic development, interfering with Plasmodium gene expression and subsequently, with transmission. The...
- 14From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Polymorphism in the pfcrt gene underlies Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance (CQR), as sensitive strains consistently carry lysine (K), while CQR strains carry threonine (T) at the codon 76....
- 15From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The goal of Roll Back Malaria (RBM) is to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality by 50% by the year 2010, and still further thereafter until the disease becomes no more a threat to public health. To...
- 16From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Blood group O has been significantly associated with increased placental malaria infection in primiparae and reduced risk of infection in multiparae in the Gambia, an area with markedly seasonal malaria...
- 17From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Data suggest that antibody responses to malaria parasites merozoite antigens are generally short-lived and this has implications for serological studies and malaria vaccine designs. However, precise data...
- 18From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground Malaria transmission in Equatorial Guinea and its space-time variability has been widely studied, but there is not much information about the transmission of malaria on the small island of Annobon. In...
- 19From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedCo-infection with falciparum malaria and leptospirosis is uncommon. The aim of this study is to report a case of severe sepsis secondary to dual infection with falciparum malaria and leptospirosis. The literature is...
- 20From: Malaria Journal. (Vol. 6) Peer-ReviewedBackground The environmental conditions experienced by parents are increasingly recognized to impact the success of offspring. Little is known on the presence of such parental effects in Anopheles. If present,...
