In Vitro Antimalarial Drug Sensitivity Testing For Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax
Aim of this study was to standardize the Antimalarial drug sensitivity testing using microtitre plate method similar to WHO III plate method. The study was conducted over a period of two years from January 2013 to December 2014. Total 44 patient samples were included in this study (22 were P. falciparum and 22 were P. vivax). 68.18% of P. falciparum blood samples showed resistance to chloroquin...
متن کاملIn Vitro Activity of Mefloquine and its Enantiomers Against Plasmodium falciparum
The in vitro activity of rac-mefloquine hydrochloride and its pure enantiomers was tested against a chloroquine-resistant (PF.IBS2) strain of Plasmodium falciparum. The parasite isolated from Iranian patients was cultured in vitro by the candle jar method described by Tranger and Jensen and was exposed to the racemic mefloquine or its enantiomers over the concentration range of 10-9 to 10-4 M. ...
متن کاملIn vitro generation of Plasmodium falciparum ookinetes.
Plasmodium transmission from the human host to the mosquito depends on the ability of gametocytes to differentiate into ookinetes, the invasive form of the parasite that invades and establishes infection in the mosquito midgut. The biology of P. falciparum ookinetes is poorly understood, because sufficient quantities of this stage of this parasite species have not been obtained for detailed stu...
متن کاملChloroquine increases Plasmodium falciparum gametocytogenesis in vitro.
Malaria parasites are capable of modulating the diversion of resources from asexual growth to the production of stages infective to mosquitoes (gametocytes). Increased rates of gametocytogenesis appear to be a general response to stress, both naturally encountered and novel. We have previously reported earlier and greater gametocytogenesis in response to subcurative antimalarial chemotherapy in...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of Feed-borne Mycotoxins to Animal Cell Lines in Vitro Using the Mtt Assay
The in vitro cytotoxicity of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), citrinin (CIT), ochratoxin A (OTA), patulin (PAT), and zearalenon (ZEA) was determined using the MTT bioassay. The study was performed on three cell lines originated from kidney fibroblasts of farm animals: SK-6, PO, and FLK. The dose response curves for each mycotoxin were generated and the concentrations causing 50% cell death (CD50) were esti...
