| persistent foci of falciparum malaria among tribes over two decades in koraput district of odisha state, india. | koraput, a predominantly tribe-inhabited and one of the highly endemic districts of odisha state that contributes a substantial number of malaria cases to the india's total. control of malaria in such districts would contribute to change the national scenario on malaria situation. hence, a study was carried out to measure the magnitude of malaria prevalence in the district to strengthen the malaria control activities. | 2013 | 23433186 |
| high prevalence and gender bias in distribution of plasmodium malariae infection in central east-coast india. | light microscopy, the mainstay of malaria diagnosis in epidemiologic studies, exhibits limited sensitivity for detecting low level infections and often under-estimates the frequency of mixed plasmodium species infections. to overcome these shortcomings we performed the pcr method for detection and identification of plasmodium species in blood specimens from 242 individuals collected during the peak season of malaria incidence (july-october). malaria prevalence was 81.4% and 43.4% by pcr and micr ... | 2009 | 20237447 |
| naturally acquired concomitant infections of bancroftian filariasis and human plasmodia in orissa. | blood smears collected from fever cases for detection of malaria parasites during daytime showed concomitant infections of wuchereria bancrofti from 1989 to 1991 in bisra phc of district sundargarh, orissa. of the total 51,448 blood smears examined, 18,444 (35.84%) were positive for malaria parasites which comprised 3401 (18.44%) plasmodium vivax, 14,524 (78.75%) p. falciparum, 156 (0.84%) p. malariae and 363 (1.97%) mixed plasmodial infections. only 240 (0.46%) cases were positive for w. bancro ... | 1995 | 8549837 |
| quartan malaria--an investigation on the incidence of plasmodium malariae in bisra phc, district sundargarh, orissa. | a longitudinal study on the incidence of p. malariae was taken up from september 1988 to december 1989 in bisra block, district sundargarh, orissa covering 38,615 population, which is mainly tribal. the area is a known hard-core malarious region in the garhjat hill range in eastern india. in this study, out of 22,217 blood smears examined through weekly active surveillance, 7362 (33.1%) were found malaria parasite positive. out of the total positive cases, 82 (1.1%) were p. malariae. these occur ... | 1990 | 2209932 |
