THE MALARIA PARASITE.

Potent in vivo anti-malaria activity of Goniothalamin against rodent malaria parasite infection in mice

Goniothalamin was evaluated for its anti-malaria activity in-vivo, using the 4-Day Suppressive Test (Peters & Robinson, 1975). The test were carried out against two strains of rodent malaria parasites, the sensitive strain P. berghei ANKA (MRA 311) strain and the resistant strain P. yoelii (MRA 312). An Initial screening was carried out using a single dose of 10 mg/kg body weight administered s...

Malaria Parasite Diagnostics

NIMR is a Referral Centre for Evaluating Commercially Developed Diagnostic Kits — Designated by the Drugs Controller General of India Fig. 1: PCR based diagnosis One of the most pronounced problems in controlling the morbidity and mortality caused by malaria is the limited access to effective diagnosis and treatment in areas where malaria is endemic. The most widely used routine method of micro...

The Biochemistry of the Malaria Parasite

Little is known concerning the nitrogen metabolism of the malaria parasite or of its nitrogen requirements. Christophers and Fulton (1) have made limited observations regarding these questions, but no systematic studies have been published. Since the erythrocytic forms of the malaria parasite rapidly increase in size and number in the blood of infected animals, t,he requirement of nitrogen for ...
