acute pulmonary edema in plasmodium falciparum malaria.this report describes a patient who developed acute pulmonary edema as a complication of plasmodium falciparum malaria. hemodynamic evaluation revealed a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 3 mm hg and a cardiac index of 4.6 liter per min per m2. the patient exhibited an acute decrease in serum colloid osmotic pressure from 25.1 mm hg to 16.8 mm hg. these findings suggest that pulmonary edema in this patient was the result of altered capillary membrane permeability.1978358880
malumfashi endemic diseases research project. ii. malariometry in malumfashi, northern nigeria.prior to longitudinal studies into the effects of malaria upon the immune response, nutritional status and haematological indices in young children in northern nigeria, the degree of malarial endemicity in the area has been established. field work was carried out in the wet seasons of 1976 and 1977 and the dry season of 1977 (april). seasonal variation in transmission has been demonstrated. age-specific parasite prevalence rates and splenic indices confirm previous studies that this northern par ...1978358930
haemostatic defect in non-immune patients with falciparum malaria: no evidence of diffuse intravascular coagulation.nine non-immune patients with imported falciparum malaria were examined for signs of diffuse intravascular coagulation (dic). although all had thrombocytopenia initially and some later had a decline in plasma fibrinogen concentrations, dic was never detected, even in severely affected patients with coma and kidney damage. none of the patients were given heparin and all recovered without residual symptoms. heparin administration should probably be considered only when clear-cut dic, which possibl ...1978359086

carl jung.physicians should be prepared to provide prophylactic medications for travelers to malarious areas and to treat patients with malaria. chloroquine hydrochloride is the suppressive agent of choice for treatment of mild infections due to all species of malaria except for those due to chloroquine-resistant strains of plasmodium falciparum. for treatment of severe infections with p falciparum and for treatment of all infections due to chloroquine-resistant strains of p falciparum quinine is the supp ...1978359849
therapy and prophylaxis of malaria.physicians should be prepared to provide prophylactic medications for travelers to malarious areas and to treat patients with malaria. chloroquine hydrochloride is the suppressive agent of choice for treatment of mild infections due to all species of malaria except for those due to chloroquine-resistant strains of plasmodium falciparum. for treatment of severe infections with p falficparum, quinine is the suppressive agent of choice. chloroquine is also the prophylactic agent of choice for most ...1978359850
[malaria introduced into switzerland from 1974-1976].in recent years there has been an increase in imported tropical diseases in switzerland. travellers to the tropics are often inadequately or not at all informed about the dangers and possible prophylaxis of infection. this is true for malaria, of which 207 cases covering the years 1974 to 1976 are studied. most involved were people between 21 and 30 years old. the main infections (71%) come from african countries. plasmodium falciparum was found somewhat more frequently than p. vivax. only a sev ...1978360380
sickling rates of human as red cells infected in vitro with plasmodium falciparum malaria.the kinetics of sickling of malaria-infected red cells from humans with sickle cell trait were studied in vitro in an attempt to obtain direct experimental evidence for a selective advantage of the hemoglobin s heterozygote in a malarious region. the sickling rates of cells infected with plasmodium falciparum and of non-infected cells were studied both in the total absence of oxygen (by dithionite addition) and at several different concentrations of oxyhemoglobin which might obtain in vivo. in a ...1978360396
preventing deaths from malaria.to reduce the number of avoidable deaths from malaria in britain the following five points are recommended. parliament should pass a malaria prevention act that compels travel agents and airlines to give written and verbal advice on prevention and diagnosis of malaria to people travelling to countries where the disease occurs. to improve diagnostic and therapeutic efficiency for all diseases the department of health and social security should prepare a procedure manual for the nhs that gives gui ...1978361151

comments on seroepidemiologic studies.if the tools for the control of transmission are not available, the application of seroepidemiologic methods, as an exercise in the tropics, just in order to assess the magnitude of the problem of malaria transmission, should be restricted. application of seroepidemiologic methods in connection with control operations seems valuable. they can provide new and basic information. it is very unlikely that in control schemes, the assessment of incidence of fresh parasitemias is better, easier, or mor ...1978355205
the spread of chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria in papua new guinea.two cases of chloroquine-resistant plasmodium falciparum malaria have been reported from eastern papua new guinea in order to alert the medical profession about the spread of resistant strains throughout that territory.1978355814
the duffy blood group and resistance to plasmodium vivax in honduras.to test the hypothesis that the duffy blood group negative genotype is a factor in resistance to plasmodium vivax, we determined the duffy blood group, the malaria antibodies, and the slide-demonstrated infection rates with p. vivax and p. falciparum of 420 persons living in nueva armenia, honduras. in all, 247 persons were duffy negative. demonstrated infections with p. falciparum were almost equally distributed between duffy-positive (5,8%) and duffy-negative (4.9%) persons. similarly, duffy-p ...1978356634
plasmodium falciparum: responses of a semi-immune individual to homologous and heterologous challenges, and non-infectivity of gametocytes in anopheles stephensi.with strict adherence to ethical guidelines, a semi-immune volunteer was exposed to homologous and heterologous blood challenges with strains of plasmodium falciparum from vietnam and tanzania. on both occasions infections developed, but clinical manifestations were moderated, prepatent periods increased, and parasitemias limited. gametocytes produced by these infections failed to infect anopheles stephensi. possible reasons for this are discussed.1978343609

the malaria burden and population growth in the solomon islands.this paper outlines the result of the control of infectious diseases, and more especially malaria, on the growth of populations in the solomon islands since 1931, the year of the first census, to 1976, the year in which the fourth census revealed, that a population explosion had occurred, and was occurring unabated.1978358655
malaria and pregnancy.a review of current literature on the effects of malaria on pregnant women and the foetus is made and its effective control is discussed. the role of placenta as an exchange organ and as the first defence line for foetus is also described. reduced resistance to malaria during pregnancy may be due to immunological and hormonal changes. in malarious areas, the effective control of malaria results in reduced maternal anaemia and in increased birth-weights. prophylaxis, treatment and other antimalar ...1978358656
chemoprophylaxis and malaria in american servicemen returning from vietnam.information relating to chemoprophylaxis and malaria in 49 men who served with the united states armed forces in vietnam and who developed overt malaria after departure from vietnam indicated that: 1) compliance with intended chemoprophylactic regimens was far optimal; 2) a history of recent prophylactic ingestion of chloroquine was not a reliable indicator of infection with chloroquine-resistant plasmodium falciparum: 3) reported ingestion of half or more of an intended terminal chemoprophylact ...1978343607
falciparum malaria in seamen.three cases of plasmodium falciparum malaria in seamen, all acquired while working off tropical west africa, and all in patients coming in for treatment at a new orleans hospital during one six-week period, are described in the context of the importance of considering recent travel history for arrival at the correct diagnosis and treatment. two of the three patients whose cases are reported had taken some form of malarial chemoprophylaxis during their voyage.1978349186

diet and cerebral malaria: the effect of famine and refeeding.in an outbreak of plasmodium falciparum malaria following refeeding after famine cerebral malaria was restricted to children eating grain. nomad children consuming a predominantly milk diet were free of this complication despite an equivalent incidence of uncomplicated malaria. freedom of nomads from cerebral complications may be due to inhibition by the milk diet of rapid division of the parasite combined with delayed recovery after famine of t cell function.1978339705

chloroquine resistance produced in vitro in an african strain of human malaria.after condinous cultivation in the presence of chloroquine, an african strain of the malaria parasite, plasmodium falciparu, acquired resistance to the drug. the resistance was stable and comparable in vitro to that occurring naturally in a strain from southeast asia. this suggests that chloroquine resistance, absent until now in africa, might arise in the future.1978351801
erythrocytic mechanism of sickle cell resistance to malaria.the physiological basis for the resistance to falciparum malaria individuals with sickle cell trait has not been understood. recent advances in erythrocytic plasmodium falciparum culture have made possible a direct investigation of the development of the malaria parasite in cells with sickle cell homoglobin. in a high (18%) oxygen atmosphere, there is no apparent sickling of cells, and the growth and multiplication of p. falciparum is identical in normal (aa), hemoglobin s homozygous (ss), and h ...1978347452

plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax infections in the owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus). i. the courses of untreated infections.this study, the first of three designed to determine the feasibility of using owl monkeys infected with human plasmodia in the search for new, more broadly active antimalarial drugs, dealt with the characteristics of untreated infections with eight strains of plasmodium falciparum and two strains of p. vivax. such infections, induced by standardized inocula of these strains in 1,733 monkeys, all aotus trivirgatus griseimembra, were followed from day of inoculation to death of self-cure. the viru ...197899055
plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax infections in the owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus). ii. responses to chloroquine, quinine, and pyrimethamine.the studies described in this report were designed to determine the responses of established infections with eight strains of plasmodium falciparum and two strains of p. vivax in owl monkeys to treatment with chloroquine, quinine, and pyrimethamine. responses with these different strains ranged from cure via application of well-tolerated doses of two of the above drugs and refractoriness to treatment with maximally tolerated doses of the third, to complete resistance to maximally tolerated doses ...197899056
vaccination of experimental monkeys against plasmodium falciparum: a possible safe adjuvant.owl monkeys (aotus trivirgatus griseimembra) were effectively immunized against a human malaria parasite, plasmodium falciparum. two injections of antigen, primarily mature segmenters with fully developed merozoites, mixed with adjuvant (6-o-stearoyl-n-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine and liposomes) were administered intramuscularly at a 4-week interval. approximately 2 weeks after the second vaccination, the monkeys were challenged with the homologous strain of p. falciparum. all immunized ...197899814
suppression of lymphocyte transformation by plasma from owl monkeys acutely infected with plasmodium falciparum.plasma collected from owl monkeys during the acute phase of plasmodium falciparum infection was shown to adversely affect several in vitro responses which are considered to be correlates of cell-mediated immune functions of normal monkeys. in the presence of acute-phase plasma, response of normal monkey peripheral blood lymphocytes to stimulation with phytohemagglutinin, concanavalin a, and pokeweed mitogen was severely reduced, as was the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes to respond to al ...1978101455
immunization against malaria with antigen from plasmodium falciparum cultivated in vitro.aotus monkeys, which are generally killed when infected with the human malaria parasite plasmodium falciparum, have been identified and grouped by karyotype. these animals were immunized with parasite material obtained from p. falciparum cultivated in vitro which had been maintained in culture for over a year. when sufficient amounts of this antigenic material were used with a synthetic muramyl dipeptide (mdp), protective immunity was induced without presenting the antigen in complete freund's a ...1978103100
partial protection of plasmodium falciparum-vaccinated aotus trivirgatus against a challenge of a heterologous strain.two aotus trivirgatus griseimenbra monkeys which had been immunized with the merozoite-enriched fup strain of plasmodium falciparum were protected against a primary challenge with the homologous strain. the results described here show that these two monkeys were protected against a subsequent challenge with a heterologous strain (fvo) of p. falciparum. the unimmunized control monkey died of fvo infection by day 18.1978103450
antimalarial activities of the 4-quinolinemethanols wr-184,806 and wr-226,253.wr-184,806 and wr-226,253, two 4-quinolinemethanols structurally similar to wr-142,490 (mefloquine), have been studied in depth in owl monkeys infected with various drug-resistant and drug-susceptible strains of plasmodium falciparum and p. vivax in an effort to provide support and guidance for projected evaluations in human volunteers. the results of these studies, confirmatory of preliminary appraisals, showed that wr-184,806 was approximately one-third as active as wr-142,490 against infectio ...1978103493
fine structure of human malaria in vitro.the erythrocytic cycle of the human malaria parasite, plasmodium, falciparum, was examined by electron microscopy. three strains of parasites maintained in continuous culture in human erythrocytes were compared with in vivo infections in aotus monkeys. the ultrastructure of p. falciparum is not altered by continuous cultivation in vitro. mitochondria contain dna-like filaments and some cristae at all stages of the erythrocytic life cycle. the golgi apparatus is prominent at the schizont stage an ...1978105129
antimalarial activities of wr-194,965, an alpha-amino-o-cresol derivative.pilot appraisals of the activities of wr-194,965 and wr-204,165, two closely related o-cresol derivatives (both mannich bases), in owl monkeys infected with the multidrug-resistant vietnam smith strain of plasmodium falciparum showed that these compounds had similar levels of efficacy. total course doses effecting 90% cures (cd(90)s) were 27 and 37 mg/kg of body weight for the respective compounds, values almost identical to the cd(90) of mefloquine (a highly promising 4-quinolinemethanol) again ...1978103492

recent advances in applied malaria immunology.our present knowledge of cellular and humoral factors which are involved in immunity to plasmodial infections are discussed. immunization against plasmodial infection has been achieved in birds, rodents, simians, and humans. avian hosts have been immunized against gametocytes which resulted in inhibition of gametocytes within the mosquito vector. immunization of humans against plasmodial gametocytes would indirectly protect them against malaria by blocking mosquito transmission to other suscepti ...197993828
severe malaria and glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency: a reappraisal of the malaria/g-6-p.d. hypothesis.nigerian children with convulsions and plasmodium falciparium parasitaemia above 100,000/microliter did not show a decreased frequency of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (g.-6-p.d.) deficiency. a re-evaluation of earlier studies has led to the conclusion that clinical evidence of protection against falciparum malaria in g.-6-p.d.-deficient individuals is lacking. evidence for the possible role of malaria in selecting for g.-6-p.d.-deficient genes consists solely of the geographical association ...197985108
inhibition of the in vitro growth of plasmodium falciparum. i. the effects of immune serum and purified immunoglobulin from owl monkeys.sera from aotus sp. monkeys (karyotypes ii, iii, and iv) which were immune to plasmodium falciparum have been used to inhibit the in vitro growth of this human malaria parasite. culture conditions used for the assays allowed 50- to 100-fold increases in the number of a+ erythrocytes infected in a 96-hr period in control cultures. although normal monkey serum did not support growth as well as normal human serum, mixtures of normal monkey and human serum were found that did. compared to such contr ...1979113460

comparative studies on dihydrofolate reductases from plasmodium falciparum and aotus trivirgatus.dihydrofolate reductase (e.c. 1.5.1.3) from plasmodium falciparum and from its host, the owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus), were partially purified and characterized. the molecular weight of the parasite enzyme was estimated to be over 10 times as high as that of the host enzyme. the host enzyme had 2 ph optima whereas the parasite enzyme only one. the activity of the host enzyme was greatly stimulated by kcl and urea, while that of the parasite enzyme was inhibited at high concentrations of such c ...197944526
