Cellular response to modified Plasmodium falciparum MSP119 antigens in individuals previously exposed to natural malaria infection
Christian MF Okafor, Chiaka I Anumudu, Yusuf O Omosun, Chairat Uthaipibull, Idowu Ayede, Henrietta O Awobode, Alex B Odaibo, Jean Langhorne, Anthony A Holder, Roseangela I Nwuba, Marita Troye-Blomberg
Malaria Journal 2009, 8:263 (23 November 2009)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]
|
The study carries potentially significant information that will enhance our understanding of anti-malarial immune responses in endemic areas to blood stage antigens and hence provide useful directions towards vaccine development.

Test characteristics of the SD FK80 Plasmodium falciparum/Plasmodium vivax malaria rapid diagnostic test in a non-endemic setting
Philippe Gillet, David PJ van Dijk, Emmanuel Bottieau, Lieselotte Cnops, Marjan Van Esbroeck, Jan Jacobs
Malaria Journal 2009, 8:262 (22 November 2009)

Erythropoietin and its receptors in the brainstem of adults with fatal falciparum malaria
Isabelle M Medana, Nicholas PJ Day, Tran Tinh Hien, Nicholas J White, Gareth DH Turner
Malaria Journal 2009, 8:261 (22 November 2009)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF]
|
There is a lack of histopathological reports and careful studies like this one are required to further elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of adult severe malaria. This report attempts to answer a potentially important question since erythropoietin therapy is being trialed in Africa.

Improving childhood malaria treatment and referral practices by training patent medicine vendors in rural south-east Nigeria
Theodora A Okeke, Benjamin SC Uzochukwu
Malaria Journal 2009, 8:260 (20 November 2009)

Population structure analyses and demographic history of the malaria vector Anopheles albimanus from the Caribbean and the Pacific regions of Colombia
Lina A Gutierrez, Nelson J Naranjo, Astrid V Cienfuegos, Carlos E Muskus, Shirley Luckhart, Jan E Conn, Margarita M Correa
Malaria Journal 2009, 8:259 (19 November 2009)
[Abstract] [Provisional PDF] [PubMed] [Related articles]
|
this study showed patterns of gene flow among the different Anopheles albimanus populations from Colombia. This knowledge could be applied to current vector control strategies since data on vector population genetics allow the inference of the spread of genes important for insecticide resistance or refractoriness to malaria parasites.

Plasmodium life-cycle and natural history of malaria
This animation, which illustrates, in six short sequences, the various stages of the life-cycle of the malaria parasite in the human host and in its mosquito vector, has been conceived by Professors Christophe Rogier et Marcel Hommel.
