| low prevalence of dihydro folate reductase (dhfr) and dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) quadruple and quintuple mutant alleles associated with sp resistance in plasmodium vivax isolates of west bengal, india. | emergence of chloroquine resistant plasmodium vivax is a serious obstacle towards malaria control in india. this study elucidates the temporal pattern of antifolate [sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (sp)] resistance in p. vivax infection by means of genetic polymorphisms, especially analysing the single nucleotide polymorphisms of dihydrofolate reductase (pvdhfr) and dihydropteroate synthase (pvdhps) gene among the field isolates of urban kolkata municipal corporation and rural purulia region of west b ... | 2016 | 27485211 |
| in vivo therapeutic efficacy of chloroquine alone or in combination with primaquine against vivax malaria in kolkata, west bengal, india, and polymorphism in pvmdr1 and pvcrt-o genes. | plasmodium vivax malaria, though benign, has now become a matter of concern due to recent reports of life-threatening severity and development of parasite resistance to different antimalarial drugs. the magnitude of the problem is still undetermined. the present study was undertaken to determine the in vivo efficacy of chloroquine (cq) and chloroquine plus primaquine in p. vivax malaria in kolkata and polymorphisms in the pvmdr1 and pvcrt-o genes. a total of 250 patients with p. vivax monoinfect ... | 2012 | 23262997 |
| a malaria outbreak in naxalbari, darjeeling district, west bengal, india, 2005: weaknesses in disease control, important risk factors. | an outbreak of malaria in naxalbari, west bengal, india, in 2005 was investigated to understand determinants and propose control measures. malaria cases were slide-confirmed. methods included calculation of annual blood examination rates (aber, number of slides examined/population), collection of water specimens from potential vector-breeding sites, sorting of villages in categories depending on the number of abandoned wells within two kilometers radius and review of the ddt spray coverage. case ... | 2009 | 20003288 |
| increasing incidence of malaria in kurseong, darjeeling district, west bengal, india, 2000-2004. | in kurseong, darjeeling district, india, malaria caused concern but insufficient information was available. we analysed surveillance data to estimate the burden of malaria and to examine trends. confirmed malaria reports were reviewed and climatic records were collected. the annual parasite incidence (api; number of cases/population) and the annual blood examination rate (aber; number of slides examined/population) were calculated to assess case detection activities, and the slide positivity rat ... | 2009 | 18786685 |
| spectrum of peripheral neuropathy in eastern india. | peripheral neuropathies constitute an important group of disorders in neurological practice. very few systematic studies on peripheral neuropathies are available from india. hence we conducted a prospective study in two large hospitals from kolkata, the biggest city of eastern india in order to find out the spectrum of peripheral neuropathy. this prospective study was carried out from june 1998 to january 2003 on admitted patients with symptoms and signs of peripheral neuropathy. two hundred and ... | 2006 | 16910321 |
| genetic diversity of plasmodium vivax in kolkata, india. | plasmodium vivax malaria accounts for approximately 60% of malaria cases in kolkata, india. there has been limited information on the genotypic polymorphism of p. vivax in this malaria endemic area. three highly polymorphic and single copy genes were selected for a study of genetic diversity in kolkata strains. | 2006 | 16907979 |
| monitoring the chloroquine sensitivity of plasmodium vivax from calcutta and orissa, india. | chloroquine-resistant plasmodium vivax malaria was first reported in india in 1995. this report led to the round-the-year monitoring, in calcutta (west bengal) and mayurbhanj district (northern orissa), of the in-vivo sensitivity of local p. vivax to chloroquine (cq). between january 1998 and december 2001, 800 cases with microscopically confirmed p. vivax malaria were enrolled in the study. each was given cq in the regimen recommended both by the government of india and the world health organiz ... | 2003 | 12803853 |
