Do mixed infections matter? Assessing virulence of mixed-clone infections in experimental human and murine malaria

Mixed-species malaria infections in travelers.

Mixed Infections

Mixed bacterial infections are responsible for many puzzling groups of symptoms. The difficulties of diagnosis are increased because at one time there is a summation of effects, and at another the secondary results are more or less overshadowed by the predominant organisms. To take the case of tuberculous infections : the exudative pneumonia which occurs is generally the result of a secondary i...

Molecular investigation of mixed malaria infections in southwest Saudi Arabia.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of mixed-species (MS) malaria infection, and compare the results with microscopically confirmed cases of malaria. METHODS During 2010, blood spots collected from 371 clinically suspected cases of malaria were microscopically examined in a cross-sectional study. The DNA was extracted from the samples, and a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was perfo...

Reactions of Monkeys to Experimental Mixed Influenza and Streptococcus Infections

1. The vital importance of the cellular defense forces in the resistance of the monkey to combined streptococcus and influenza virus infections has been demonstrated. 2. Some of the conditions prejudicial to the maintenance of an optimum cellular reserve in the infected animal have been revealed; viz., undernutrition, physical cold, intratracheal route of infection. 3. The potential threat exer...
