OBJECTIVES To describe the burden of malaria in Gauteng Province, and to identify potential risk factors for severe disease. DESIGN We conducted a prospective survey of malaria cases diagnosed in hospitals throughout Gauteng from December 2005 to end November 2006. OUTCOME MEASURES Malaria frequency, severity, and treatment. Results. We identified 1 701 malaria cases; 1 548 (91%) were seen ...
In addition to being effective, fast-acting, and well tolerated, artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are able to kill certain transmission stages of the malaria parasite. However, the population-level impacts of ACTs on reducing malaria transmission have been difficult to assess. In this study on the history of malaria control in Vietnam, we assemble annual reporting on malaria case ...
In recent years malaria treatment policies have shifted in most African countries to artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT), which are highly effective but also much more expensive than previous regimens [1]. In order to avoid overprescription of ACT, new guidelines from the World Health Organization recommend that a laboratory test should be performed before treating [2]. The widespread...
The selective oxyfunctionalization of isolated sp(3) C-H bonds in complex molecules represents a formidable challenge in organic chemistry. Here, we describe a rational, systematic strategy to expedite the development of P450 oxidation catalysts with refined regio- and stereoselectivity for the hydroxylation of remote, unactivated C-H sites in a complex scaffold. Using artemisinin as model subs...
Over the past six decades, the drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum has become an issue of utmost concern. Despite the remarkable progress that has been made in recent years in reducing the mortality rate to about 30% with the scaling-up of vector control, introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapies and other malaria control strategies, the confirmation of artemisinin resistance...
The continuous culture of Plasmodium falciparum is often seen as a means to an end, that end being to probe the biology of the parasite in question, and ultimately for many in the malaria drug discovery arena, to identify means of killing the parasite in order to treat malaria. In vitro continuous culture of Plasmodium falciparum is a fundamental requirement when undertaking malaria research wh...
Parasite clearance data from 18,699 patients with falciparum malaria treated with an artemisinin derivative in areas of low (n=14,539), moderate (n=2077), and high (n=2083) levels of malaria transmission across the world were analyzed to determine the factors that affect clearance rates and identify a simple in vivo screening measure for artemisinin resistance. The main factor affecting parasit...
The in vivo alkylation of heme by the antimalarial trioxaquine DU1301 afforded covalent heme-drug adducts that were detected in the spleens of Plasmodium sp.-infected mice. This result indicates that the alkylation capacities of trioxaquines in mammals infected with Plasmodium strains are similar to that of artemisinin, a natural antimalarial trioxane-containing drug.
A recent Letter to the Editor (R. K. Haynes, D. Monti, D. Taramelli, N. Basilico, S. Parapini, and P. Olliaro, Letter, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 47:1175, 2003) presented cogent evidence that artemisinin and its derivatives do not inhibit hemozoin formation in vitro. However, the authors misinterpret these data to conclude that “binding of artemisinins with Fe(III)PPIX is not necessary for a...
One hundred and twenty children with acute uncomplicated malaria who were managed at the children's outpatient department of the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa (a unit of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals' Complex, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria) were recruited into the study to determine the effects of lime juice on malaria parasite clearance. These children were randomized into treatm...
