Mathematical Modeling of Malaria: Theories of Malaria Elimination
… falciparum infections in individuals with no malarial acquired immunity. The model allows for stochastic simulation of asexual and sexual parasitemias as well as the onset of fever and human to mosquito infectivity on a daily time scale. The model components for the asexual and sexual stages …

Human host and malaria parasite genome variations to susceptibility to malaria
… genetic variants affecting drug metabolism. Antimalarial drugs are used in populations carrying different profiles of genetic variability. However, there is limited information on the distribution of genetic variants of pharmacogenomics importance in African populations. Aims: We set out to …

Studies in experimental malaria
… under the general title "Studies in Experimental Malaria" is more apparent than real. The central problems around which all the work has revolved and to which answers have been sought have been: -

Malaria immunology and vaccine development
… It<br/>begins by providing an introduction to malaria infection and pathophysiology, and<br/>a review of the latest attempts to produce an effective malaria vaccine. It goes on<br/>to describe the rationale behind the vaccines developed by the University of<br/>Oxford and others. A brief …

Repositioning of astemizole for malaria
Malaria remains one of the most important parasitic infectious diseases as far as human suffering is concerned. With almost half of the world's population at risk, its burden is felt worldwide as seen by the high number of deaths recorded each year (405,000 in 2018: WHO World Malaria Report 2019). …

Chromosomal Evolution of Malaria Vectors
International malaria control initiatives such as the Roll Back Malaria Initiative (RBM) and the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) mobilize resources and spur research aimed at vector control as well as the treatment and eventual eradication of the disease. These efforts have managed to reduce …

Factors influencing malaria care seeking behaviour in two Ghanaian communities : formal versus informal malaria care
… extent of household’s reliance on the informal malaria care sector in two Ghanaians communities. The secondary objective wass to inform policy-makers and planners, especially from the public healthcare sector, on supply side issues that are likely to influence the current malaria care seeking …

The Economics of Vivax Malaria Treatment
The control and eventual elimination of malaria will require widescale adoption of strategies to ensure early diagnosis and highly effective treatment of infected individuals. In <i>Plasmodium vivax</i>, multiple relapse episodes can only be averted by treating the dormant liver stage of the …

Anti-malaria drug treatment in Vietnam
Resistance to antimalarial drugs is increasing nearly everywhere in the tropical world, confounding global attempts to "Roll Back Malaria". Antimalarial treatment with artemisinin, artesunate, or artemether has proved rapidly effective in the treatment of non complicated and complicated malaria and …

Essays on Malaria, Environment and Society
… development, and environment for the case of malaria. While malaria profoundly affects human society and prospects for prosperity, public health measures and anthropogenic environmental change alter the intensity of transmission differentially around the globe. Using global maps of malaria …

Predicting malaria dynamics under climate change
Malaria dynamics are closely tied to climate, as rainfed water pools provide the habitat for the Anopheles mosquitoes, and temperature influences this vector's ability to spread disease. Climate change drives shifts in microtopographic controls on the persistence of mosquito habitat and the life …

Mechanisms of Immunosuppression in Murine Malaria
An extract was prepared from Plasmodium berghei, NK65C strain, by disrupting P. berghei infected erythrocytes with a Parr bomb disruption cell. This extract was capable of reducing the anti-DNP and SRBC plaque forming cell response of mice intraperitoneally injected with the extract one day prior …

Investigations of cellular immune mechanisms to malaria during pregnancy in a malaria holoendemic region of Western Kenya
Women during pregnancy in holoendemic regions of malaria are at an increased risk for peripheral malaria infections with potential for developing placental malaria. The immunological basis of protection and pathogenesis are incompletely understood. This thesis investigates both processes. Research …

The hydrology of malaria : field observations and mechanistic modeling of the malaria transmission response to environmental climatic variability
A coupled HYDrology, Entomology and MAlaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS) has been developed. The model simulates the hydrological and climatological determinants of malaria transmission mechanistically and at high spatialand temporal resolution, and is valid for semi-arid, desert fringe …

Application of microfluidic device to malaria diagnosis
… and sensitivity. The application of diagnosis of malaria infection by microfluidics is studied. Malaria infected red blood cells will cause a cell stiffening, and the different behaviors of iRBCs could be detected by microfluidics. The malaria market and various business model is analyzed, and a …
