TL;DR: The genotyping protocols used in this study may be useful for differentiating re-infection from relapse and recrudescence in studies assessing of malarial drug efficacy in vivax malaria.

TL;DR: It is raised the possibility that, beyond uneven health care, evolutionary pressures may alter malaria parasites in ways that contribute to severe disease in India, particularly in the NE corridor of India bordering Myanmar Narayanasamy et al., 2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Prevalence of Asymptomatic Malaria in a Tribal Population in Eastern India
Swagata Ganguly,Pabitra Saha,Subhasish Kamal Guha,Asit Biswas,Sonali Das,Pratip Kumar Kundu,Ardhendu Kumar Maji +6 more
TL;DR: A tribal population of 1,040 individuals in the Purulia district of West Bengal was screened by using a dual-antigen rapid diagnostic kit (RDK), microscopy, and species-specific PCR, which found the PCR method was more sensitive in detecting infection than the RDK or microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotyping of Plasmodium vivax reveals both short and long latency relapse patterns in Kolkata.

TL;DR: Genotyping indicates that long latency P.vivax is prevalent in West Bengal, and that the first relapses after long latent periods are genetically homologous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic association of Toll-like-receptor 4 and tumor necrosis factor-α polymorphisms with Plasmodium falciparum blood infection levels
Madhumita Basu,Ardhendu Kumar Maji,Arindom Chakraborty,Rahul Banerjee,Shrabanee Mullick,Pabitra Saha,Sonali Das,Sumana Datta Kanjilal,Sanghamitra Sengupta +8 more
TL;DR: Dysregulated innate immune responses due to inappropriate signaling by Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and aberrant production of pro-inflammatory cytokines are implicated in the immunopathology and disease outcome in Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients and genetic role of TLR4 and TNF-alpha in controlling the blood infection level in mild malaria is supported.
