a case control study was performed in three districts in hormozgan province in 2001 to assess how different determinants affect on malaria morbidity. it assume that results will help the decision makers in all levels of national development program. a total of 384 febrile patients with positive peripheral blood smear were selected as case group, and 753 people with negative peripheral blood sme...

background: interleukin 18 (il-18) exerts pleiotropic roles in many inflammatory-related diseases including parasitic infection. previous studies have demonstrated the promising therapeutic potential of modulating il-18 bioactivity in various pathologi­cal conditions. however, its involvement during malaria infection has yet to be established. in this study, we demonstrated the effect of modula...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and on March 11, 2020, WHO announced COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.
