Journal ArticleDOI
Is Plasmodium vivax malaria a severe malaria?: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Overall, the present analysis identified that the incidence of SM in patients infected with P. vivax was considerable, indicating that P.vivax is a major cause of SM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between hepatitis C virus infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus: meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The findings support the association between hepatitis C infection and type 2 diabetes mellitus and suggest that hepatitis C-infected patients had a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes compared with uninfected controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a highly specific recombinant Toxocara canis second-stage larva excretory-secretory antigen for immunodiagnosis of human toxocariasis.
Hiroshi Yamasaki,Kunioki Araki,P. K. C. Lim,Ngah Zasmy,Joon Wah Mak,Radzan Taib,Takashi Aoki +6 more
TL;DR: The recombinant antigen is highly specific for toxocariasis and may provide more reliable diagnostic results than other methods and is supported by experiments with animals infected with Ascaris and hookworm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rigid membranes of Malayan ovalocytes: a likely genetic barrier against malaria
TL;DR: These findings suggest that resistance to parasite invasion of Malayan ovalocytes is the result of a genetic mutation that causes increased membrane rigidity, and are able to induce similar resistance to parasitic invasion in nonovalocytic normal red cells by increasing their membranes rigidity with graded exposure to a protein crosslinking agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blastocystis in animal handlers.
H Rajah Salim,G. Suresh Kumar,S Vellayan,Joon Wah Mak,A. Khairul Anuar,I Init,G. D. Vennila,R. Saminathan,K. Ramakrishnan +8 more
TL;DR: The in vitro culture method used in the study detected that people who work closely with animals do stand at risk of acquiring Blastocystis infection.
