| frequency of malaria and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in tajikistan. | during the soviet era, malaria was close to eradication in tajikistan. since the early 1990s, the disease has been on the rise and has become endemic in large areas of southern and western tajikistan. the standard national treatment for plasmodium vivax is based on primaquine. this entails the risk of severe haemolysis for patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency. seasonal and geographical distribution patterns as well as g6pd deficiency frequency were analysed with a vi ... | 2006 | 16780577 |
| [the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of malaria under the present conditions of tajikistan]. | the highest malaria morbidity rates have been observed in the tajikistan's khatlon region that is contiguous with afghanistan. this area is notorious for its high malariogenicity ("susceptibility" according to the who terminology), caused by natural climatic factors, as well as a significant vulnerability associated with socioeconomic conditions (intensive migration of populations among which there are many infected subjects). in children, tropical malaria is generally characterized by an acute ... | 2009 | 20120380 |
| [Evaluation of the efficiency of rapid tests to detect malaria patients and parasite carriers in Tajikistan]. | The sensitivity of a rapid test versus microscopy of blood samples was studied while examining 7983 dwellers from the republic's endemic areas. The results of blood testing in the Pyanj and Shurobod districts showed agreement with those of blood microscopy. However, its sensitivity in two other districts was as high as 1.9%. Only one of 53 positive tests was verified by microscopy examination. The findings suggest that it is impossible to use the examined tests (Access Bio Inc. Care Start Malari ... | 2011 | 21932547 |
| elisa incrimination of anopheles superpictus and anopheles hyrcanus (diptera: culicidae) as vectors of plasmodium vivax (haemosporida: plasmodiidae) in tajikistan. | entomological surveys were conducted in the malaria-endemic southwestern region of tajikistan to establish which species of anopheles may be responsible for malaria transmission. the head-thorax portions of 2,213 wild-caught anopheles females-anopheles superpictus grassi (n = 1,292), anopheles pulcherrimus theobald (n = 376), anopheles hyrcanus (pallas) (n = 544), and anopheles claviger (meigen) (diptera: culicidae) (n = 1)-were tested for the presence of plasmodium sporozoites using enzyme-link ... | 2013 | 24843935 |
| [the specific features of the epidemiology of tertian (plasmodium vivax) malaria in the republic of tajikistan]. | the specific features of the functioning of parasitic systems of tertian malaria were found in the elimination period when the number of foci and patients were drastically reduced. despite the sporadic cases of tertian malaria, in 2009-2012 each of the 9 areas of the kurgan tyubin zone, khatlon region notified 12 of the 43 active foci with single manifestations of malaria after a long incubation period in the following spring or march-april a year later. the results of these investigations shoul ... | 2014 | 24640133 |
