Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of tick-borne relapsing fever in west Africa: longitudinal study.
Laurence Vial,Georges Diatta,Adama Tall,El Hadj Ba,Hilaire Bouganali,Patrick Durand,Cheikh Sokhna,Christophe Rogier,Christophe Rogier,François Renaud,Jean-François Trape +10 more
TL;DR: The presence of the vector tick in most villages investigated and its high infection rate suggest that TBRF is a common cause of fever in most rural areas of Senegal, Mauritania, and Mali.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity and structure of African Plasmodium falciparum populations in urban and rural areas.
Hervé Bogreau,François Renaud,Housem Bouchiba,Patrick Durand,Serge-Brice Assi,Marie-Claire Henry,Eric Garnotel,Bruno Pradines,Thierry Fusai,Boubacar Wade,Eric Adehossi,Philippe Parola,Mohamed Ali Kamil,Odile Puijalon,Christophe Rogier +14 more
TL;DR: A P. falciparum population structure in Africa is shown and a potential effect of rural suburbs to generate genetic diversity in towns is suggested, which could affect the dispersal of selected drug resistance and should be considered when adapting urban malaria control strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomes of all known members of a Plasmodium subgenus reveal paths to virulent human malaria.
Thomas D. Otto,Thomas D. Otto,Aude Gilabert,Thomas Crellen,Thomas Crellen,Ulrike Böhme,Céline Arnathau,Mandy Sanders,Samuel O. Oyola,Samuel O. Oyola,Alain Prince Okauga,Larson Boundenga,Eric Willaume,Barthélémy Ngoubangoye,Nancy Diamella Moukodoum,Christophe Paupy,Patrick Durand,Virginie Rougeron,Benjamin Ollomo,François Renaud,Chris I. Newbold,Chris I. Newbold,Matthew Berriman,Franck Prugnolle +23 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that interspecific gene transfers, as well as convergent evolution, were important in the evolution of the Laverania subgenus and features of the human-infecting Plasmodium falciparum species that enable parasite transmission in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Epidemiology and Geographic Distribution of Relapsing Fever Borreliosis in West and North Africa, with a Review of the Ornithodoros erraticus Complex (Acari: Ixodida)
Jean-François Trape,Georges Diatta,Céline Arnathau,Idir Bitam,M’hammed Sarih,Driss Belghyti,Ali Bouattour,Eric Elguero,Laurence Vial,Youssouph Mané,Cellou Baldé,Franck Pugnolle,Gilles Chauvancy,Gil Mahé,Laurent Granjon,Jean-Marc Duplantier,Patrick Durand,François Renaud +17 more
TL;DR: Borrelia Spirochetes responsible for relapsing fever in humans are highly prevalent both in Ornithodoros ticks and small mammals in North and West Africa but Ornithdoros ticks seem absent south of 13°N andSmall mammals are not infected in these regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meager genetic variability of the human malaria agent Plasmodium vivax
Marie Claude Leclerc,Patrick Durand,Catherine Gauthier,Sabine Patot,Norbert Billotte,Michela Menegon,Carlo Severini,Francisco J. Ayala,François Renaud +8 more
TL;DR: It is inferred that the world expansion of P. vivax as a human parasite occurred recently, perhaps <10,000 years ago; the differential variability of the TRs may reflect selective processes acting on particular regions of the genome.
