background: malaria is well known for its fatalities worldwide, plasmodium vivax and the plasmodium falciparum are the two important species of malaria reported from pakistan and creating lots of morbidities across the country. method: study was conducted to determine the surveillance of malaria in south punjab by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (pcr). result : 40 samples out of 100 pa...

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...

background: cytoadherence of plasmodium falciparum - infected erythrocytes to host cells is an im-portant trait for parasite survival and has a major role in pathology of malaria disease. infections with p. falciparum usually consist of several subpopulations of parasites with different adhesive prop-erties. this study aimed to compare relative sizes of various binding subpopulations of differe...

background: sickle cell disease (hbss) is a major health problem in nigeria and ma-laria has been implicated as a leading cause of morbidity/mortality in sickle cell disease patients. few reasons were put forward to explain the observed morbidity/mortality of hbss subjects due to plasmodium falciparum (p. falciparum) malaria. objectives: to determine the level of immunoglobulin classes (igm, ig...

Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) is the main parasite known to cause malaria in humans. The antimalarial drug atovaquone inhibit Qo-site of cytochrome bc1 complex P. falciparum, which ultimately blocks ATP synthesis, leading cell death. Through years, mutations complex, causing resistance atovaquone, have emerged. present investigation applies molecular dynamics (MD) simulations study how ...

Abstract Background Malaria is an acute and chronic illness characterized by paroxysms of fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, anemia, and splenomegaly. Most malarial deaths occur in infants and young children.Anemia in malaria has diverse pathophysiologic mechanisms such as direct invasion of Red cells, In the following, we presented comparison of hematological aspects: children with Malaria an...

Plasmodium falciparum and P. malariae occur endemically in many parts of Africa. Observations from malariotherapy patients suggest that co-infection with P. malariae may increase P. falciparum gametocyte production. We determined P. falciparum gametocyte prevalence and density by quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) after antimalarial treatment of Kenyan children wi...
