Journal ArticleDOI

Michael Aidoo,Dianne J. Terlouw,Margarette S. Kolczak,Peter D. McElroy,Feiko O. ter Kuile,Feiko O. ter Kuile,Simon Kariuki,Bernard L. Nahlen,Bernard L. Nahlen,Altaf A. Lal,Venkatachalam Udhayakumar +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that HbAS provides significant protection against all-cause mortality, severe malarial anaemia, and high-density parasitaemia and this significant reduction in mortality was detected between the ages of 2 and 16 months, the highest risk period for severe malaria anaemia in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha promoter variant 2 (TNF2) is associated with pre-term delivery, infant mortality, and malaria morbidity in western Kenya: Asembo Bay Cohort Project IX
Michael Aidoo,Peter D. McElroy,Margarette S. Kolczak,Dianne J. Terlouw,Feiko O. ter Kuile,Feiko O. ter Kuile,Bernard L. Nahlen,Bernard L. Nahlen,Altaf A. Lal,Venkatachalam Udhayakumar +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) allele on malaria morbidity and mortality in young children who participated in an immuno-epidemiologic cohort study of malaria in an area of intense perennial Plasmodium falciparum transmission in western Kenya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for Pfhrp2/3-Deleted Plasmodium falciparum, Non-falciparum, and Low-Density Malaria Infections by a Multiplex Antigen Assay.
Mateusz M. Plucinski,Camelia Herman,Sophie Jones,Rafael Dimbu,Filomeno Fortes,Dragan Ljolje,Naomi W. Lucchi,Sean C. Murphy,Nahum Smith,Kurtis R. Cruz,Annette M. Seilie,Eric S. Halsey,Venkatachalam Udhayakumar,Michael Aidoo,Eric Rogier +14 more
TL;DR: High-throughput multiplex antigen detection can inexpensively screen for low-density P. falciparum, non-falcipareum, and Pfhrp2/3-deleted parasites to provide population-level antigen estimates and identify specimens requiring further molecular characterization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central African hunters exposed to simian immunodeficiency virus.
Marcia L. Kalish,Nathan D. Wolfe,Clement B. Ndongmo,Janet M. McNicholl,Kenneth E. Robbins,Michael Aidoo,Peter N. Fonjungo,George Alemnji,Clement Zeh,Cyrille F. Djoko,Eitel Mpoudi-Ngole,Donald S. Burke,Thomas M. Folks +12 more
TL;DR: HIV-seronegative Cameroonians with exposure to nonhuman primates were tested for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection and one person had strong humoral and weak cellular immune reactivity to SIVcol peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posttreatment HRP2 Clearance in Patients with Uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum Malaria.
Mateusz M. Plucinski,Pedro Rafael Dimbu,Filomeno Fortes,Salim Abdulla,Saumu Ahmed,Julie Gutman,S. Patrick Kachur,Aida Sadikh Badiane,Daouda Ndiaye,Eldin Talundzic,Naomi W. Lucchi,Michael Aidoo,Venkatachalam Udhayakumar,Eric S. Halsey,Eric Rogier +14 more
TL;DR: Consistent HRP2 clearance dynamics following successful antimalarial treatment imply a common underlying mechanism of biological clearance, even in the absence of other indications of inadequate response to treatment.
