| molecular evidence of mixed p. vivax and p. falciparum infections in northern islamic republic of iran. | this study compared basic microscopy with molecular detection of plasmodium species. according to thick-film microscopy, 100% of 142 malaria cases in pars-abad, ardebil province, were infected with a single species, p vivax. however, nested polymerase chain reaction (pcr) detected mixed species infections of both p. vivax and p. falciparum in 7.0%. in mazanderan province, 2/20 blood films were diagnosed with only p. falciparum and 18/20 with only p. vivax. however, nested pcr detected 17/20, 2/2 ... | 2004 | 16212210 |
| nitric oxide induction as a novel immunoepidemiological target in malaria-infected patients from endemic areas of the islamic republic of iran. | malaria has been prevalent for a long time in iran and continues to be a health problem despite substantial control programs. in addition to numerous cytokines, nitric oxide (no) is thought to be a key molecule and a novel target of malaria immunopathology. | 2006 | 16714249 |
| patterns of co-association of c-reactive protein and nitric oxide in malaria in endemic areas of iran. | in addition to numerous immune factors, c-reactive protein (crp) and nitric oxide (no) are believed to be molecules of malaria immunopathology. the objective of this study was to detect crp and no inductions by agglutination latex test and griess microassay respectively in both control and malaria groups from endemic areas of iran, including southeastern (se) (sistan & balouchestan, hormozgan, kerman) and northwestern (nw) provinces (ardabil). the results indicated that crp and no are produced i ... | 2008 | 18368235 |
