| malaria in southeast queensland in 1979. | the incidence of malaria in australia is increasing. with the emergence of strains of plasmodium falciparum resistant to chloroquine there are new lessons to be learned by laboratory workers in the species diagnosis; by clinicians in the clinical manifestations, the treatment of prophylaxis; and by members of the public about the dangers of malaria, and how it can be prevented. at the same time, old knowledge must not be forgotten. this paper reports some recent experience with a sizeable number ... | 1980 | 7012564 |

| plasmodium vivax malaria acquired in far north queensland. | in february 1996, vivax malaria was diagnosed in a man from a remote community in far north queensland who had not visited a malarious area for the past 19 years. microscopy and dna studies of blood from other residents of the community did not identify a source of infection. it was suspected the infection was transmitted by mosquitoes from a neighbour who had been infected in papua new guinea, but whose blood was not available for dna tests. | 1997 | 9033563 |
| airport malaria in cairns. | we report a patient with plasmodium vivax malaria that was acquired in cairns in october 1996. rather than being "introduced" (i.e., derived from an imported case), we believe this is likely to have been a case of "airport malaria" (i.e., acquired from an infected mosquito imported in an aircraft). it is, to our knowledge, the first report of airport malaria in australia. | 1997 | 9087188 |
| malaria acquired in the torres strait. | two cases of plasmodium vivax malaria acquired in the torres strait during 1997 are reported. the source of infection could not be firmly established but two possibilities are discussed. anopheline mosquitoes are present in the torres strait, and malaria is frequently imported from papua new guinea (png), thus transmission by local mosquitoes poses an ongoing threat. however, in this particular location, badu island, no recent importation of malaria was identified and mosquito surveillance demon ... | 1998 | 9503741 |
| malaria and its implications for public health in far north queensland: a prospective study. | this prospective study's objectives were to describe the features of all episodes of malaria diagnosed in far north queensland (excluding the torres strait) and to assess how much of a threat they posed to the area's public health. over a three-year period, 216 episodes of malaria were diagnosed (158 plasmodium vivax and 68 p. falciparum infections). most (82%) of the infections were acquired in papua new guinea (png). approximately 70% of the episodes occurred in australian citizens, about half ... | 1998 | 9744175 |
| report of the australian malaria register for 1992 and 1993. | australia is free from endemic malaria but several hundred imported cases occur each year. notification and screening data on malaria cases are collected by state and territory health authorities and laboratories and forwarded to the australian malaria register (amr) for national collation and analysis. this report provides information on 758 malaria cases with 5 deaths reported in australia in 1992 and 712 cases with 1 death in 1993. in both years, just over 70% of cases were male and the modal ... | 1998 | 9823685 |

| hiv, malaria and pneumonia in a torres strait islander male--a case report. | this report presents the case of a middle-aged torres strait islander male with hiv who contracted plasmodium vivax malaria in papua new guinea. his presentation included clinical and radiological features of pneumonia and he required inpatient treatment for 13 days. this study reviews the literature concerning co-infection with hiv and malaria, which is an uncommon combination in australia, discusses the public health risks posed by patients with malaria in the torres strait, given the presence ... | 2010 | 21413531 |
| relapse of imported plasmodium vivax malaria is related to primaquine dose: a retrospective study. | relapsing plasmodium vivax infection results in significant morbidity for the individual and is a key factor in transmission. primaquine remains the only licensed drug for prevention of relapse. to minimize relapse rates, treatment guidelines have recently been revised to recommend an increased primaquine dose, aiming to achieve a cumulative dose of ≥6 mg/kg, i.e. ≥420 mg in a 70 kg patient. the aims of this study were to characterize the epidemiology of p. vivax infection imported into queensla ... | 2012 | 22727113 |
