seroepidemiology of malaria in karnataka state: longitudinal study of a population from an area with high incidence at kolar, south india.	serologic methods have considerable value in epidemiologic surveillance of malaria. antigens prepared from p falciparum cultured in vitro have been found to be sensitive and to a certain extent specific in the ifa test to detect malarial antibodies in the sera from a population continuously exposed to p falciparum and plasmodium vivax infections [1]. however, it is necessary to assess the serologic data against the results of conventional examination of peripheral blood smears in monitoring the ...	1983	6352829

epidemiology of plasmodium vivax malaria in india.	historically, malaria in india was predominantly caused by plasmodium vivax, accounting for 53% of the estimated cases. after the spread of drug-resistant plasmodium falciparum in the 1990s, the prevalence of the two species remained equivalent at the national level for a decade. by 2014, the proportion of p. vivax has decreased to 34% nationally, but with high regional variation. in 2014, p. vivax accounted for around 380,000 malaria cases in india; almost a sixth of all p. vivax cases reported ...	2016	27708188
therapeutic assessment of primaquine for radical cure of plasmodium vivax malaria at primary and tertiary care centres in southwestern india.	acquaintance is scanty on primaquine (pq) efficacy and plasmodium vivax recurrence in udupi district, karnataka, india. we assessed the efficacy of 14 days pq regimen (0.25 mg/kg/day) to prevent p. vivax recurrence. microscopically, aparasitemic adults (≥18 years) after acute vivax malaria on day 28 were re-enrolled into 15 months' long follow-up study. a peripheral blood smear examination was performed with participants at every 1-2 month interval. a nested pcr test was performed to confirm the ...	2016	28095658
