A target for intervention in Plasmodium falciparum infections.
We present a set of simple mathematical models to investigate interactions between malaria parasites and the human immune system and the differentiation of parasites from asexual, pathogenic into sexual, transmissible blood stages. Each model represents a different combination of empirically based hypotheses, and salient behaviors of each fit criteria developed from clinical data. In all models...
متن کاملmixed infection of plasmodium malariae and plasmodium falciparum: a case report
introduction malaria is the most important parasitic infection, which is now spread all over the globe. malaria infections with more than two species, especially plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax, are common, but infections with p. malariae and p. falciparum are rare. discussion mixed malaria infection is not uncommon, and it needs to be diagnosed and treated effectively in order to control th...
متن کاملTheoretical analysis of mixed Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum infections with partial cross-immunity.
A deterministic model for assessing the dynamics of mixed species malaria infections in a human population is presented to investigate the effects of dual infection with Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium falciparum. Qualitative analysis of the model including positivity and boundedness is performed. In addition to the disease free equilibrium, we show that there exists a boundary equilibrium c...
متن کاملMolecular Evidence on Changing Pattern of Mixed Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax Infections during Year-Round Transmission of Malaria in Chahbahar, Iran
Mixed malaria infections, Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax, are suspected to occur at a greater frequency than is detected by conventional light microscopy. In order to determine the year round pattern of transmission and the frequency of mixed infections in malaria endemic area, we carried out a prospective comparison of diagnosis by conventional light microscopy and nested PCR in Chahbahar ...
متن کاملGametocytemia in Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infections.
Two expert research microscopists, each blinded to the other's reports, diagnosed single-species malaria infections in 2,141 adults presenting at outpatient malaria clinics in Tak Province, Thailand, and Iquitos, Peru, in May-August 1998, May-July 1999, and May-June 2001. Plasmodium vivax patients with gametocytemia had higher fever and higher parasitemia than those without gametocytemia; tempe...
