Malaria and poverty are intimately connected. As Nobel Laureate in Medicine T.H. Weller (1958: 497) noted, “It has long been recognized that a malarious community is an impoverished community.” Weller could have said the same for malarious countries. Malaria is most intractable for countries in the poorest continent, Africa. The only parts of Africa free of malaria are the northern and southern...

The use of sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine (SP) for treatment of vivax malaria is uncommon in most malarious areas, but Plasmodium vivax isolates are exposed to SP because of mixed infections with other Plasmodium species. As P. vivax is the most prevalent species of human malaria parasites in Iran, monitoring of resistance of the parasite against the drug is necessary. In the present study, 50 b...

We report here a retrospective analysis of all malaria cases in military personnel reported to the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Central Malaria Register from 1998 to 2007. A total of 637 cases of malaria were notified affecting 487 individuals. Of these 85.9% (547) were infected with Plasmodium vivax malaria and 10.2% (65) with P. falciparum malaria. The majority of cases were from Timor Lest...

Malaria was the major medical problem confronting the allied military forces in the campaign in the equatorial Pacific area from 1942 through 1945. In the period 1942 through 1943, the disease dominated military strategy. In the Solomon Islands and New Guinea campaigns, American divisions such as the First Marine Division, the Americal Division, the 25th and 43rd Infantry divisions had high pro...

ence over malarious fever, in the face of so much recorded negative statistical evidence. As before mentioned, I consider the disturbing agencies, which must be present, sufficient to prevent the preparation of any trustworthy statistics. For instance, people very frequently do not apply for relief for attacks of fever. Malarious fevers having once occurred in any individual, may be re-excited ...
