Source of Clinical Malaria in Mixed‐Species Infections

Effect of Transmission Setting and Mixed Species Infections on Clinical Measures of Malaria in Malawi

BACKGROUND In malaria endemic regions people are commonly infected with multiple species of malaria parasites but the clinical impact of these Plasmodium co-infections is unclear. Differences in transmission seasonality and transmission intensity between endemic regions have been suggested as important factors in determining the effect of multiple species co-infections. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In ...

Malaria: old infections, changing epidemiology

The epidemiology of malaria has always varied between different parts of the world because of widely varying vectorial capacity. Mortality from malaria can be measured from clinical records or the rise of mortality during an epidemic, but better from observing the fall of mortality during control or from the population frequency of protective host genes. Holoendemic malaria may have doubled the...

Epidemiology of Malaria in Kashan

ABSTRACT Every year in the city of Kashan various number of cases of malaria has been observed. Determination of the prevalence of the disease and the carriers in this area of the country can play a significant role in employing preventive measure as well as in managing logistic services. Through applying retrospective descriptive methods and based on the statistics reported from the Center o...

A multi-level spatial analysis of clinical malaria and subclinical Plasmodium infections in Pailin Province, Cambodia

Background The malaria burden is decreasing throughout the Greater Mekong Subregion, however transmission persists in some areas. Human movement, subclinical infections and complicated transmission patterns contribute to the persistence of malaria. This research describes the micro-geographical epidemiology of both clinical malaria and subclinical Plasmodium infections in three villages in West...
