| preliminary study of malaria incidence in nouakchott, mauritania. | malaria is one of the main motives for outpatient consultation and hospitalization in mauritania. however, its incidence remains unclear because of diagnostic problems and insufficient epidemiological data. | 2009 | 19416545 |

| molecular surveillance of drug-resistant plasmodium vivax using pvdhfr, pvdhps and pvmdr1 markers in nouakchott, mauritania. | plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax occur in mauritania. drug-resistant p. falciparum has been reported, but the drug-resistance status of p. vivax is unknown. the aims of the present study were to determine the prevalence of mutant pvdhfr, pvdhps and pvmdr1 genes and of pvmdr1 gene amplification in p. vivax isolates in nouakchott, the capital city of mauritania, and to establish a baseline for molecular surveillance of drug-resistant p. vivax in the country. | 2011 | 22086859 |
| malaria prevalence and morbidity among children reporting at health facilities in nouakchott, mauritania. | although malaria has become a serious public health problem in mauritania since the late 1990s, few documented data on its epidemiology exist. the objective of this study was to assess the morbidity of clinical malaria among children in nouakchott. three hundred and one febrile children, consulting at three health facilities of nouakchott, were screened for malaria in 2009 (n=216) and 2010 (n=85). plasmodium species identification and parasite density were determined by microscopic examination o ... | 2011 | 22019287 |
| increasing prevalence of plasmodium vivax among febrile patients in nouakchott, mauritania. | the occurrence of plasmodium vivax malaria was reported in nouakchott, mauritania in the 1990s. several studies have suggested the frequent occurrence of p. vivax malaria among nouakchott residents, including those without recent travel history to the southern part of the country where malaria is known to be endemic. to further consolidate the evidence for p. vivax endemicity and the extent of malaria burden in one district in the city of nouakchott, febrile illnesses were monitored in 2012-2013 ... | 2015 | 25582695 |
| widespread distribution of plasmodium vivax malaria in mauritania on the interface of the maghreb and west africa. | plasmodium vivax is very rarely seen in west africa, although specific detection methods are not widely applied in the region, and it is now considered to be absent from north africa. however, this parasite species has recently been reported to account for most malaria cases in nouakchott, the capital of mauritania, which is a large country at the interface of sub-saharan west africa and the maghreb region in northwest africa. | 2016 | 26861780 |
| malaria-associated morbidity during the rainy season in saharan and sahelian zones in mauritania. | reliable epidemiological data based on laboratory-confirmed cases are scarce in mauritania. a large majority of reported malaria cases are based on presumptive clinical diagnosis. the present study was conducted to establish a reliable database on malaria morbidity among febrile paediatric and adult patients consulting spontaneously at public health facilities in nouakchott, situated in the saharan zone, and in hodh elgharbi region in the sahelian zone in south-east mauritania during the peak tr ... | 2015 | 26276697 |
