Background:Malaria infection is still one of the most important public health concerns globally. The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospective epidemiological study of malaria in Khash City, Sistan and Baluchestan Province of Iran from 1999 to 2016. Methods:This was a retrospective study, which collected official data of 26-year trend of malaria in ...

drug resistance in malaria parasites is extending in the world particularly in chemical synthesized drugs such as 4- aminoquinolines and aminoalcoholes. employing herbal extracts is encouraged by who in the malarious areas. in this study, the effectiveness of ethanolic extract of artemisia aucheri individually and in combination with chloroquine, has been considered against chloroquine - sensit...

background: one of the most important enzymatic disorders that interact with malaria is deficiency of g6pd (gloucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). this enzyme protects red blood cells from hydrogen peroxide and other oxidative damages. distribution of this enzyme deficiency usually accompanies with low level distribution of malaria disease in most malarious areas. so this hypothesis may be consid...

background: molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes (ie) with plasmodium falci-parum play important roles in malaria pathogenesis and immune evasion. some of these molecules are specific adhesive ligands mediating adhesion of ie to the vascular endothelium. in the current study, the antigens exposed on the surface of ie with different isolates and various binding subpopulati...

Malaria is a global life aggressive disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite to host after infected anopheles mosquito leading release of free radicals which have capacity induce oxidative stress. This study was carried out assess effect malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) on some antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E and reduced glutathione) lipid peroxidation marker (MDA) in children attending...

Background& Objectives: Inspite of intensive worldwide efforts to reduce its transmission, malaria remains the most serious and widespread protozoal infection of humans. It is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquito. Malaria has long featured prominently in the grey area between parasitology and hematology. This study has been...

objective: plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance is a major problem in malaria endemic areas. single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt and pfmdr1 genes are known to be associated with chloroquine resistance in some parts of the world. the major goal of the present study was to detect the five single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfmdr1 gene and one single nucleotide polymorphisms in pfcrt ...

background: plasmodium vivax is the most widespread species of plasmodium in humans and causing about 80 million clinical cases annually. this study was under-taken to detect p. vivax in asymptomatic treated vivax malaria patients to trace la-tent/sub-patent malaria infection. method: the venous blood of all detected cases with p. vivax in bashagard, minab and roodan districts in hormozgan prov...
