Stochastic simulation models of Plasmodium falciparum malaria epidemiology and control
Most mathematical models for acquired immunity to Plasmodium falciparum consider effects of immunity on duration of infection and infectiousness, but do not consider the most evident effect of immunity, which is to reduce parasite densities. Few attempts have been made to fit such models to field data. We propose a stochastic simulation model to predict the distributions of P. falciparum parasi...
متن کاملThe Use of Crude Plasmodium falciparum Antigens for Comparison of Antibody Responses in Patients with Mild Malaria vs. Cerebral Malaria
Background: Cerebral malaria (CM) is one of the major causes of death in African populations infected with Plasmodium falciparum. Only 1% of infected subjects develop CM. The reasons for these differences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the host humoral response against blood-stage antigens plays a role in protection from malaria, although the precise targets and mechanisms medi...
متن کاملSevere Plasmodium falciparum malaria Malária grave por Plasmodium falciparum
Malaria is the world’s leading parasitic disease and affects approximately 40% of the world’s population (approximately 2.4 billion people) in more than 100 countries.(1) The disease, that is caused for Plamodium spp., particularly affects populations in tropical and subtropical areas, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. Brazil has the largest number of cases on the American ...
متن کاملThrombocytopenia in plasmodium falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND Malaria is usually associated with reduced blood cell counts & mild to moderate thrombocytopenia is a common association of malaria. The cause of thrombocytopenia is poorly understood, but the immune-mediated lysis, sequestration in the spleen and dyspoietic processes in the marrow with diminished platelet production have all been postulated. This study was conducted to evaluate thro...
متن کاملPlasmodium falciparum malaria: proteomic studies
Despite advances in treatment and campaigns for prevention and control of malaria on the various continents where it is still rampant, this disease remains significantly relevant to the contemporary world. Plasmodium falciparum is the organism that is mainly responsible for severe malaria, which is characterized by disturbances in different organs and systems, with possibly fatal outcomes. Alth...
