Plasmodium malariae is the only human malaria parasite species with a 72-hour intraerythrocytic cycle and the ability to persist in the host for life. We present a case of a P. malariae infection with clinical recrudescence after directly observed administration of artemether/lumefantrine. By using whole-genome sequencing, we show that the initial infection was polyclonal and the recrudescent i...

The NOW ICT Malaria P.f./P.v. for Whole Blood (Binax, Inc., Portland, ME) is a new malaria rapid diagnostic device that represents a technical advance over previous assays, such as ICT Malaria P.f./P.v. and ICT Malaria P.f.. We evaluated this device in March 2001 in symptomatic patients at malaria clinics in Maesod, Thailand. Microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood smears was the refere...

A study was carried out in the area of influence of the Porto Primavera Hydroelectric Power Station, in western São Paulo State, to investigate ecological and epidemiological aspects of malaria in the area and monitor the profile of the anopheline populations following the environmental changes brought about by the construction of the lake. Mosquitoes captured were analyzed by standardized indi...

Background: Plasmodium knowlesi is a simian malaria parasite capable of causing malaria in human. Naturally acquired human infections with P. knowlesi have been detected in many South East Asian countries. As P. knowlesi can cause severe malaria with life threatening complications, early detection is of great importance in management of knowlesi malaria. Objective: To provide insight into the d...

Mixed malarial infections of Plasmodium falciparum and P. malariae are not uncommon but they may often be overlooked l?ecause there is a tendency for P. falcipa"fm .to predommate and the parasitaemia with P. malanae IS usually very low. Therapy of cases of mixed infections with P. falciparum !lnd P. malaria~, P. vivax or P. ovale should clearly ~e almed at P. falctparum as the potentially letha...

The burden and duration of asymptomatic malaria infections were measured in residents of the malaria endemic village of Gonoa, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae infections in people aged 4 years to adulthood were compared. Frequent sampling at 3-day intervals for up to 61 days allowed assessment of individual episodes of infection. Statistical as...

Plasmodium malariae, the parasite responsible for quartan malaria, is transmitted in most areas of malaria endemicity and is associated with significant morbidity. The sequence of the gene coding for the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) was obtained from field isolates of P. malariae and from the closely related simian parasite Plasmodium brasilianum. The two sequen...

Malaria is one of the causes death and morbidity in children adults tropical countries. caused by Protozoa genus Plasmodium, Plasmodium humans consists 4 species, namely Palsmodium falciparum, vivax, malariae ovale. Pesawaran District area most commonly found with malaria, 2017 there were 1,738 cases malaria working Hanura Health Center. The purpose this study was to find out identify species t...
