In Vitro Antiplasmodial Activity and Cytotoxicity of Extracts of Selected Medicinal Plants Used byTraditional Healers of Western Cameroon

TL;DR: Findings justify the use of five of the seven plants in malaria treatment by traditional healers of Western Cameroon, both for their antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasmodium vivax Populations Are More Genetically Diverse and Less Structured than Sympatric Plasmodium falciparum Populations

TL;DR: This research clearly demonstrates how population genetic analyses can reveal deeper insight into transmission patterns than traditional surveillance methods and underlines suggestions that more intensive and sustained interventions will be needed to control and eventually eliminate P. vivax.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Transmission Intensity on the Accuracy of Genotyping To Distinguish Recrudescence from New Infection in Antimalarial Clinical Trials

TL;DR: Comparing the accuracies of genotyping methods to assign outcomes for two large antimalarial trials performed in areas of Africa with different transmission intensities estimated that at least 45% and 35%, respectively, were new infections misclassified as recrudescences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malarial parasite diversity in chimpanzees: The value of comparative approaches to ascertain the evolution of Plasmodium falciparum antigens

TL;DR: The notion that comparative approaches among P. falciparum and its related species will be of great value in understanding the evolution of proteins that are important in parasite invasion of the human red blood cell, as well as those involved in malaria pathogenesis is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time-of-day specific changes in metabolic detoxification and insecticide resistance in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae.

TL;DR: Del (observed under light:dark conditions) time-of-day changes in metabolic detoxification and resistance to insecticide challenge in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes are characterized and rhythmic susceptibility to insecticides by survivorship and pesticide susceptibility is demonstrated.

Malaria mortality rates in South Asia and in Africa: implications for malaria control.

TL;DR: This work examines malaria-related mortality under different circumstances and discusses implications for the management of malaria in these settings and emphasizes the power of rapid case treatment to save lives at risk under virtually all circumstances of malaria transmission.

Epidemiology of malaria in displaced Khmers on the Thai-Kampuchean border.

TL;DR: Malaria epidemiology from 1983 to 1985 in displaced Khmers living in camps on the Thai-Kampuchean border was studied and Epidemiological information has been more useful for planning than for evaluating control measures.
