TL;DR: The diagnosis may be done by serological screening of anti-Toxoplasma antibodies (IgM and IgG) while PCR of the amniotic fluid or the placenta is the confirmatory test and acute or chronic infections may be differentiated by IgG avidity tests.

TL;DR: Determining the genetic lineages of the resistant dhps alleles on Andaman and Nicobar Islands and mainland India is significant, given the role of Asia in the intercontinental spread of chloroquine- and pyrimethamine-resistant parasites in the past.

TL;DR: Artesunate derivatives must be introduced for the treatment of P. falciparum and P. vivax patients as they resist to chloroquine as well as sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine combinations.

TL;DR: The Indian P. falciparum population exhibited a selective valley of reduced genetic variation in the flanking microsatellites of the mutant pfcrt alleles, which is much narrower than the ±200 kb valley reported from African and South-East Asian countries.

TL;DR: ROCK inhibitors, fasudil and Y27632, have been reported for significant efficiency in dropping vascular smooth muscle cell hyper-contraction, vascular inflammatory cell recruitment, cardiac remodelling and endothelial dysfunction which highlight ROCK role in cardiovascular diseases.
