چکیده
Abstract Background Cape Verde is an archipelago located off the West African coast and in a pre-elimination phase of malaria control. Since 2010, fewer than 20 Plasmodium falciparum cases have been reported annually, except 2017, when outbreak Praia before rainy season led to 423 autochthonous cases. It important understand genetic diversity circulating P. inform on drug resistance, potential transmission networks sources infection, including parasite importation. Methods Enrolled subjects involved patients admitted Dr Agostinho Neto Hospital at city, Santiago island, Verde, between July October 2017. Neighbours family members enrolled were assessed for presence anti- antibodies. Sanger sequencing real-time PCR was used identify SNPs genes associated with resistance (e.g., pfdhfr, pfdhps, pfmdr1, pfk13, pfcrt ), whole genome data generated investigate population structure parasites. Results The study analysed 190 samples, 187 indigenous 3 from imported infections. Malaria distributed throughout city. There no severe all had adequate clinical parasitological response after treatment. Anti- antibodies not detected 137 neighbours tested. No mutations pfdhps . triple mutation S108N/N51I/C59R pfdhfr chloroquine-resistant CVIET haplotype gene almost samples. Variations pfk13 identified only one sample (R645T, E668K). NFD pfmdr1 majority samples (89.7%). Conclusions Polymorphisms artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) tolerance Southeast Asia detected, but tested carried anti-malarial-associated genes. first (WGS) performed Verdean parasites that showed cluster together, very high level similarity are close other populations Africa.

Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND Artemisinin-based combination therapies are the recommended first-line treatments of falciparum malaria in all countries with endemic disease. There are recent concerns that the efficacy of such therapies has declined on the Thai-Cambodian border, historically a site of emerging antimalarial-drug resistance. METHODS In two open-label, randomized trials, we compared the efficacies o...
متن کاملFactors contributing to the development of anaemia in Plasmodium falciparum malaria: what about drug-resistant parasites?
A major manifestation of complicated malaria especially among children is severe anaemia, the pathogenesis of which is not well understood. Among other factors, suppression of the bone marrow's response to erythropoietin, which is rapidly reversed after successful treatment of the malaria, has been implicated in its pathogenesis. Since resolution of malaria restores erythropoiesis, we hypothesi...

In vivo and in vitro assessments of the response of P. falciparum to chloroquine using WHO standard kits and techniques were carried out in I ran Shahr, Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran in 1985. In the in vivo assessment, 24 malaria patients treated with chloroquine (25mg/kg over three days) were followed up for one to four weeks. The mean parasite clearance time was 4.3 days and in...
متن کاملGlutathione export from human erythrocytes and Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites.
Glutathione export from uninfected human erythrocytes was compared with that from cells infected with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum using two separate methods that distinguish between oxidized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH) glutathione. One involved enzymatic recycling with or without thiol-masking; the other involved rapid derivatization followed by HPLC. Glutathione efflux from uninfec...
