Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmodium vivax Malaria
TL;DR: Peripheral blood microscopy, parasite antigen–based assays, and parasite 18s rRNA gene–based polymerase chain reaction showed the presence of P. vivax and absence ofP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria : A Report on Serial Cases from Bikaner in Northwestern India
Dhanpat K. Kochar,Ashish Das,Sanjay K. Kochar,Vishal Saxena,Parmendra Sirohi,Shilpi Garg,Abhishek Kochar,Mahesh Pal Khatri,Vikas Gupta +8 more
TL;DR: Among patients with severe manifestations, 40 had evidence of monoinfection of P. vivax malaria, and further large-scale multicentric epidemiologic studies are needed to define the basic pathology of this less known entity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical features of children hospitalized with malaria--a study from Bikaner, northwest India.
Dhanpat K. Kochar,Gajanand Singh Tanwar,Poonam Chand Khatri,Sanjay K. Kochar,Ghanshyam Singh Sengar,Anjana Gupta,Abhishek Kochar,Sheetal Middha,Jyoti Acharya,Vishal Saxena,Deepak Pakalapati,Shilpi Garg,Ashish Das +12 more
TL;DR: The evidence of severe P. vivax malaria in children in Bikaner is reaffirmed and the proportion of patients having severe manifestations, which included severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, cerebral malaria, acute respiratory distress syndrome, hepatic dysfunction, renal dysfunction, abnormal bleeding was significantly high in association with P. falciparum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thrombocytopenia in Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax and mixed infection malaria: a study from Bikaner (Northwestern India).
Dhanpat K. Kochar,Ashis Das,Abhishek Kochar,Sheetal Middha,Jyoti Acharya,Gajanand Singh Tanwar,Anjana Gupta,Deepak Pakalapati,Shilpi Garg,Vishal Saxena,Amit Kumar Subudhi,P.A. Boopathi,Parmendra Sirohi,Sanjay K. Kochar +13 more
TL;DR: It was found that the association of thrombocytopenia was statistically more significant with P. vivax monoinfection as compared to P. falciparum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alison Roth,Swamy R. Adapa,Min Zhang,Xiangyun Liao,Vishal Saxena,Raaven Goffe,Suzanne Li,Ratawan Ubalee,Gagandeep Singh Saggu,Zarna Rajeshkumar Pala,Shilpi Garg,Silas A. Davidson,Rays H. Y. Jiang,John H. Adams +13 more
TL;DR: In vitro phenotyping and RNA-seq analyses revealed key microenvironmental relationships with distinct biological functions and preserved sporozoite quiescence by exposure to insect-like factors coupled with strategic activation limits untimely activation of invasion-associated genes to dramatically increase hepatocyte invasion rates.
