| malaria vectors in angola: distribution of species and molecular forms of the anopheles gambiae complex, their pyrethroid insecticide knockdown resistance (kdr) status and plasmodium falciparum sporozoite rates. | malaria is by far the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality in angola, being responsible for 50% of all outpatient attendance and around 22% of all hospital deaths, yet by 2003 only 2% of under-5s used insecticide-treated nets. entomological studies are an essential foundation for rational malaria control using insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying, but there have been no published studies of malaria vectors in angola over the 27 years of the civil war, to its end in 2002. th ... | 2006 | 16420701 |
| molecular epidemiology of drug-resistant plasmodium falciparum in benguela province, angola. | the malaria situation has been worsening in angola, partly due to armed conflict until the recent past and drug-resistant plasmodium falciparum. malaria transmission is heterogeneous within the country, and data on drug-resistant malaria in different parts of the country are incomplete. the aim of the present study was to evaluate resistance to 4-aminoquinolines and antifolate drugs in p. falciparum isolates collected in benguela province, central angola, using molecular markers. | 2015 | 25889865 |
