Changing Patterns of Malaria Epidemiology between 2002 and 2010 in Western Kenya: The Fall and Rise of Malaria
Guofa Zhou,Yaw A. Afrane,Anne M. Vardo-Zalik,Harrysone Atieli,Daibin Zhong,Peter Wamae,Yousif E. Himeidan,Noboru Minakawa,Andrew K. Githeko,Guiyun Yan +9 more
TL;DR: The resurgence in parasite prevalence and malaria vectors has been observed in two out of three sentinel sites in western Kenya despite a high ownership of ITNs, and the likely factors contributing to malaria resurgence include reduced efficacy of ITN, insecticide resistance in mosquitoes and lack of proper use ofITNs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnopharmacological use of herbal remedies for the treatment of malaria in the Dangme West District of Ghana
TL;DR: The objective of the present study was to collect and document information on herbal remedies traditionally used for the treatment of malaria in the Dangme West District of Ghana, and provides the basis for further pharmacological studies on the herbal remedies used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computer vision for microscopy diagnosis of malaria
TL;DR: A general pattern recognition framework to perform diagnosis, which includes image acquisition, pre-processing, segmentation, and pattern classification components, is described and the open problems are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and Functional Insight into How the Plasmodium falciparum VAR2CSA Protein Mediates Binding to Chondroitin Sulfate A in Placental Malaria
Thomas Mandel Clausen,Stig Christoffersen,Madeleine Dahlbäck,Annette Eva Langkilde,Kamilla E. Jensen,Mafalda Resende,Mette Ø. Agerbæk,Daniel Andersen,Besim Berisha,Sisse B. Ditlev,Vera V. Pinto,Morten Nielsen,Thor G. Theander,Sine Larsen,Ali Salanti +14 more
TL;DR: A small VAR2CSA antigen is constructed that has the capacity to induce highly adhesion-blocking antibodies and is constructed based on these novel PfEMP1 structure-function studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
P. falciparum in vitro killing rates allow to discriminate between different antimalarial mode-of-action.
Laura M. Sanz,Benigno Crespo,Cristina De-Cozar,Xavier C. Ding,Jose L. Llergo,Jeremy N. Burrows,Jose F. Garcia-Bustos,Francisco-Javier Gamo +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive methodology to measure in vitro the direct effect of antimalarial compounds over the parasite viability is presented, based on limiting serial dilution of treated parasites and re-growth monitoring, and it is demonstrated that this technique readily permits to determine compound killing activities that might be otherwise missed by traditional, metabolism-based techniques.

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.
Journal Article
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.
