| [malaria in the infant in a rural area of maritime guinea (guinea conakry). i. immune and parasitic status of the mother and the newborn]. | among 216 women who had given birth in the rural health maternity centre of maférinyah (guinea), 32% had parasitemia with no clinical signs. antimalarial antibodies could be measured only for 156 women and were present in all of them. serological antimalarial tests were carried out on 133 newborns, all of whom had antibodies. the serological results of 122 mother infant pairs are given in this article. the absence of parasitemia in 122 newborns confirms the rarity of congenital malaria and would ... | 1998 | 9846218 |
| [malignant tropical malaria in native africans living in a large city]. | the clinical and laboratory features of severe plasmodium falciparum-induced malaria were analyzed in 91 adult patients living a large african city. within a week, 52 patients developed the disease from the manifestations of overall intoxication to the complete picture of severe malaria accompanied by coma. fifty eight patients were found to be residents of conakry and 54 of them left the city 2 months before the malaria attack. eighty one patients had experienced malaria, including 38 patients ... | 1999 | 10414041 |
| malaria vector composition and insecticide susceptibility status in guinea conakry, west africa. | this study provides data on malaria vector species composition and insecticide susceptibility status from three localities in guinea conakry. a total of 497 mosquitoes were collected resting indoors and morphologically identified as belonging to the anopheles gambiae complex. the majority of these were an. gambiae s.s. (99.6%), but a small percentage (0.4%) were identified as anopheles arabiensis. thirty-four anopheles funestus s.s. were also collected. the molecular s form of an. gambiae s.s. w ... | 2009 | 19941598 |
| malaria vector populations across ecological zones in guinea conakry and mali, west africa. | malaria remains a pervasive public health problem in sub-saharan west africa. here mosquito vector populations were explored across four sites in mali and the republic of guinea (guinea conakry). the study samples the major ecological zones of malaria-endemic regions in west africa within a relatively small distance. | 2016 | 27059057 |
| low prevalence of plasmodium and absence of malaria transmission in conakry, guinea: prospects for elimination. | over the past 15 years, mortality and morbidity due to malaria have been reduced substantially in sub-saharan africa and local elimination has been achieved in some settings. this study addresses the bio-ecology of larval and adult stages of malaria vectors, plasmodium infection in anopheles gambiae s.l. in the city of conakry, guinea, and discusses the prospect for malaria elimination. | 2016 | 26987480 |
