the prevalence and relationships of malaria, anemia, and malnutrition in a coastal area of el salvador.to study the relationships between malaria, anemia and malnutrition, 853 school-age children from a high malaria incidence area and an adjacent low incidence area were surveyed in september 1972. for the high incidence area the malaria slide positivity rate was 3.5%, spleen rate 7.6% and malaria (indirect fluorescent antibody) serology positivity 24.7%. contrasted to this, no positive slides, only 3 palpable spleens and a 3.4% serology positivity rate were found for the low incidence area. twent ...19751091165
a prospective study of the effects of ultralow volume (ulv) aerial application of malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. i. study design and perspective.a large-scale prospective study was designed to test the effects of aerial ultralow volume (ulv) application of malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. the study was conducted during 1972 to 1973, in the miragoane valley of haiti, an area having annual anticipated outbreaks of malaria, which allowed prospective assessment. spraying of malathion at a dosage of 4.5 fluid ounces per acre reduced populations of adult anopheles albimanus to less than 1% of prespray levels and interrupted ...19751091167
a prospective study of the effects of ultralow volume (ulv) aerial application of malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. ii. entomologic and operational aspects.in a large-scale study in the miragoane valley of haiti, designed to test the effects of aerial ultralow volume (ulv) malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria, spray operations resulted in an immediate and sharp decline in numbers of the vector, anopheles albimanus. the adult population of this mosquito remained at less than 1% of previous levels until several weeks after a 50-day spray period (27 october-16 december 1972) during which six cycles were completed. the study area offered ...19751091168
a prospective study of the effects of ultralow volume (ulv) aerial application of malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. iii. ecologic aspects.the effects of aerial ultralow volume (ulv) malathion on selected species of nontarget animals in haiti are reported. mortality of certain groups of insects such as bees, flies, beetles, and butterflies was observed immediately following spray application. minor fish mortality occurred only in shallow water exposed to direct spray. the brain acetylcholine esterase levels of living fish, tree lizards, birds and bats collected from treated areas were not significantly reduced. no ill or dead anima ...19751091169
a prospective study of the effects of ultralow volume (ulv) aerial application of malathion on epidemic plasmodium falciparum malaria. iv. epidemiologic aspects.in the miragoane valley of haiti a consistent pattern in the incidence of plasmodium falciparum malaria over a 10-year period made it possible to predict an annual outbreak and perform a prospective study to test the effects of aerial ultralow volume (ulv) malathion on epidemic levels of this disease. at the end of october 1972, after epidemic levels (100 cases/month/10,000 population) had been reached, spray operations were begun. the first spray cycle produced a sharp and immediate drop in pop ...19751091170
antimalarial effects of clindamycin in man.clindamycin 450 mg every 8 hours for 3 days cured three non-immune patients of falciparum malaria, although the response was slow. the addition of quinine to this regimen provided an accelerated response and cured 3 of 5 other patients. single doses of clindamycin given daily for 3 days, with or without quinine, cured 1 of 3 patients. gastric intolerance to the drugs, probably accentuated by the clinical condition, was pronounced in some cases, the course of treatment being interrupted in three ...19751091172

"topical nephropathy" and "tropical extramembranous glomerulonephritis" of unknown aetiology in senegal.a study of renal biopsy specimens obtained in senegal from 24 children and six adults with nephrotic syndrome showed two unusual varieties of nephropathy--namely, an extramembranous glomerulonephritis associated with hypocomplementaemia (four cases), a combination previously described only in systemic lupus erythematosus, and a "tropical nephropathy" (16 cases). the latter, though lacking the diffuse glomerular deposits of immunoglobulin described in quartan malarial nephropathy (q.m.n.), showed ...19751095112
cerebral malaria.cerebral malaria is an acute diffuse encephalopathy associated only with plasmodium falciparum. it is probably a consequence of the rapid proliferation of the parasites in the body of man in relation to red cell invasion, and results in stagnation of blood flow in cerebralcapillaries with thromobotic occlusion of large numbers of cerebral capillaries. the subsequent cerebral pathology is cerebral infarction with haemorrhage and cerebral oedema. the wide prevalence of p. falciparum in highly ende ...19751095294
chloroquine resistant malaria in west malaysia.chloroquine resistance is a well established entity in south east asia, and presents a problem of increasing importance. strains of p. falciparum resistant to chloroquine have also been found to be resistant to amodiaquine and a combination of pyrimethamine and sulphadoxine. knowledge of the drug sensitivity of the strains of malaria parasite in a given locality is important so that the right choice of drugs can be made in treatment of the disease. the treatment of chloroquine resistant malaria ...19751095776
studies on coagulation and fibrinolysis in cases of falciparum malaria.coagulation and fibrinolytic studies were conducted in 18 cases of severe falciparum malaria including cases with parasitaemia above 5% and with pernicious manifestations such as coma, jaundice, anuria, pulmonary oedema, bleeding tendency, etc., irrespective of parasitaemia. marked changes in blood coagulograms and high levels of serum fibrin degradation products appeared only in cases with very severe cerebral involvement and also in cases with very high parasitaemia alone. these investigations ...19751096306

the rapid isolation from human blood of concentrated, white-cell-free preparations of plasmodium falciparum.the sucrose gradient centrifugation method has been applied to representative samples of human (gambian) blood infected with ring, trophozoite, schizont and gametocyte stages of p. falciparum in order to assess quantitatively the efficiency of recovery, white cell removal and the degree of enrichment of the infected cell fraction. maximal white cell removal was 90%. (a.v.) average infected cell recoveries varied with the level of white cell contamination, namely 47% (2-5% wbc), 34% (1-2% wbc) an ...19751096379
observations on malaria in indonesian timor.malaria parasitemias were found in 35% of 520 individuals from a village in timor, indonesia. plasmodium falciparum accounted for 80% of infections. the existence of p. ovale in timor is reported for the first time. the who standard field test for drug resistance did not reveal significant resistance of p. falciparum or p. vivax to chloroquine.19751098490
application of the indirect fluorescent antibody method in a study of malaria endemicity in mato grosso, brazil.four surveys of malaria endemicity were conducted in the cuiabá sector of mato grosso state, brazil, at 6-month intervals during the period april 1970 to september 1971; during april 1970 a survey was also conducted in the campo grande sector. over 4,000 dual specimens--blood films for parasite diagnosis and filter paper blood spots for determination of fluorescent antibody (ifa) response--were collected from the general population, including school populations whenever possible. parasitologic e ...19751098491
natural infections of anopheles albimanus with plasmodium in a small malaria focus.entomologic surveys conducted in a small village in an area of known high malaria transmission in el salvador yielded a high rate of infection in anopheles albimanus collected inside houses in which cases of malaria had occurred. of 324 specimens dissected, 12 were found to harbor sporozoites or oocysts. this is in contrast to prior reports of extremely low infection rates in collections of this species from malarious areas, and suggests that under some circumstances a. albimanus does meet the c ...19751098498
amodiaquine resistant falciparum malaria in thailand.amodiaquine cured 38% (13/34) of patients with falciparum malaria in southeast thailand. chloroquine cured 0% (0/13). the cure rates with amodiaquine were the same whether a 1.5 g or 2.0 g course was used. most patients were resistant to amodiaquine at the ri level and to chloroquine at the rii level. in hospital, amodiaquine cleared parasitemia more frequently than did chloroquine. with the 2.0 g course of amodiaquine, the parasite clearance time was 77 hours; the fever clearance time of 36 hou ...19751098499
chloroquine resistance of plasmodium falciparum in west irian and east kalimantan.evidence is presented of the chloroquine-resistance in plasmodium falciparum in west irian and east kalimantan as shown by clinical observation and quantitative parasite counts in two patients hospitalized in tokyo where no natural transmission of malaria occurs. the evidence is supported by the determination of plasma chloroquine levels, and in vitro sensitivity tests. the highest plasma level of chloroquine in the patient infected in west irian was 197 ng/ml (fourth treatment) and 435 ng/ml (f ...19751098587

[different types of gametocytes in mammal's haemosporidia. correlations with the morphology of the tissue schizonts. hypothesis on the evolution of the group (author's transl)].the haemosporidia of mammals are classified in 3 groups according to the morphology of the gametocytes: 1) group "vivax" with hepatocystis and several species of plasmodium; 2) group "malariae" with nycteria and a second group of plasmodium; 3) group "falciparum" with only plasmodium. in each group there is a correlation between the morphology of the gametocytes and that of the exo-erythrocytic schizonts. through discussing the host-range and comparing the life cycles of haemosporidia in birds, ...1976823859
[unusual infectious diseases in a municipal hospital (author's transl)].the most important criteria for differential diagnosis are presented with reference to case histories: falciparum malaria: relapsing fever, hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, leucopenia; kala-azar: insidious course with fever, pancytopenia, macrocytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, enlargement of lymph nodes; echinococcosis: symptoms of a benign tumor with displacement. diagnosis: by identification of the pathogen in malaria and kala-azar, serologically in all three diseases and also radiologica ...1976825760

studies with induced malarias in aotus monkeys.aotus monkeys have been shown to be susceptible to the three most important species of human malaria as well as to simian, ape, and rodent malaria. the parasites natural to man were maintained by serial passages using trophozoite infected blood. it was then possible to transfer the infections to, and among, other new world monkeys which previously were refractory. the parasites retained their viability in the monkey, were infective to mosquitos, and were transmitted between monkeys and back to m ...1976828228
the quartan malarial nephrotic syndrome.a specific relationship between p. malariae and the nephrotic syndrome, originally postulated on epidemiologic evidence, has been substantiated by clinical, pathologic and immunologic observations. it would appear that quartan malaria causes an immune complex nephritis in some individuals that, once established, is sustained by mechanisms not yet fully explained but which may involve an autoimmune process. evidence to support an immunologic pathogenesis of the renal lesions is provided by the pr ...1976828446
