abstract background: iran is one of the countries implementing indoor residual spraying (irs) for malaria control. deltamethrin (dlt) is one of the insecticides recommended by world health organization (who) for this program. irs is currently performed in sistan and baluchistan province as an area with unstable malaria situation and the highest prevalence of malaria in the country. dlt has been...

background: sickle cell disease (hbss) is a major health problem in nigeria and ma-laria has been implicated as a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in sickle cell disease patients. few reasons were put forward to explain the observed morbidity/mortality of hbss subjects due to plasmodium falciparum (p. falciparum) malaria. objectives: to determine the level of immunoglobulin classes (igm, ig...

  Abstract   Background: Several studies suggested that some traits and polymorphisms in human genome such as G6PD deficiency and other genes have protective effects on susceptibility to malaria infection .   Methods: In present study we investigated the prevalence of TNF [1] -244GgA, TNF [1] -   308 GgA,TNF [1] -238GgA, NOS2-954GgC, MBL54GgA, MBL 57GgA, MBL IVSI -   5 GgA polymorphisms and G6P...

Introduction: Malaria is one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In all provinces of Iran except Sistan and Baluchestan, Hormozgan and the tropical parts of Kerman, malaria is under control. However, due to favorable conditions, the possibility of incidence in parts of the country still exists. So Disease surveillance and epidemiologica...

Background & Aims of the Study: The aim of this study was to determine the ecology of malaria vectors in order to select the vector control masseur in the future. This study was carried out on trend of malaria cases and malaria vectors in Saravan county, Sistan & Baluchestan Province, Iran. Materials & Methods: The adult mosquitoes were collected by standard Pyrethrum space spray colle...

background: human malaria remains a major malady in eastern iran. vector control interventions such as indoor residual spraying are used to fight with the disease. this study was undertaken to determine the lethal and residual effects of three different pyrethroid insecticides on adult mosquitoes of anopheles stephensi on different surfaces in iran, as part of a national program to monitor inse...

background: asymptomatic malaria infection provides a reservoir of parasites, causing the persistence of malaria transmission. it accounts an important challenge for successful management of the control, elimination, and eradication programmes in any malaria-endemic region. this investigation was designed to assess the presence and the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers in iranshahr district o...

glomerular involvement occurs as a rare form of renal manifestation in plasmodium falciparum malaria. here, we report a rare case of falciparum malaria-associated iga nephropathy. a 28-year-old man was admitted because of fever and abdominal pain. ultrasound and computed tomography (ct) showed right kidney pyonenphrosis. despite placing a nephrostomy tube, fever continued. repeated ct was in fa...

background& objectives: inspite of intensive worldwide efforts to reduce its transmission, malaria remains the most serious and widespread protozoal infection of humans. it is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquito. malaria has long featured prominently in the grey area between parasitology and hematology. this study has been performed to evaluate ...

abstract malaria is still the number one killer especially among young children and is responsible for one death per minute in the world. overall,between 250-500 million cases of the disease occur worldwide causing more than one million deaths annually about 90% of which in children under five years of age. although the spread of the disease is worldwide but it is seen mostly in tropical and su...
