Journal ArticleDOI
Quinine, an old anti-malarial drug in a modern world: role in the treatment of malaria
Jane Achan,Ambrose Talisuna,Annette Erhart,Adoke Yeka,James K Tibenderana,Frederick N. Baliraine,Philip J. Rosenthal,Umberto D'Alessandro +7 more
TL;DR: In pregnancy, quinine continues to play a critical role in the management of malaria, especially in the first trimester, and it will remain a mainstay of treatment until safer alternatives become available.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Monitoring selection and responding to emerging signs of drug resistance are critical tools for preserving efficacy of artemisinin combination therapies; determination of the prevalence of at least pfcrt K76T and pfmdr1 N86Y should now be routine.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Prevalence of Asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum Infections in a Highland Area of Western Kenya: A Cohort Study
Frederick N. Baliraine,Yaw A. Afrane,Dolphine A. Amenya,Mariangela Bonizzoni,David M. Menge,Goufa Zhou,Daibin Zhong,Anne M. Vardo-Zalik,Andrew K. Githeko,Guiyun Yan +9 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with gradual acquisition of immunity with increasing age upon repeated infection, and they show that the risk of malaria transmission is highly heterogeneous in the highland area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged Selection of pfmdr1 Polymorphisms After Treatment of Falciparum Malaria With Artemether-Lumefantrine in Uganda
TL;DR: Remarkably, selection persisted in infections presenting up to about 60 days after treatment with artemether-lumefantrine, indicating that parasites selected for decreased drug sensitivity can appear long after predicted exposure to antimalarial drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of antimalarial drug resistance mutations in Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum from a malaria-endemic area of Pakistan.
TL;DR: Results indicate an emerging multi-drug resistance problem in P. vivax and P. falciparum malaria parasites in Pakistan.
