| the malaria burden and population growth in the solomon islands. | this paper outlines the result of the control of infectious diseases, and more especially malaria, on the growth of populations in the solomon islands since 1931, the year of the first census, to 1976, the year in which the fourth census revealed, that a population explosion had occurred, and was occurring unabated. | 1978 | 358655 |
| an evaluation of malaria fluorescent antibody patterns in several remote island populations of the new hebrides, solomons, western carolines, and new guinea. | from a representative sampling of several remote populations living on the banks and torres islands (new hebrides), the eastern and southern districts of the solomon islands, the western caroline islands (u.s. pacific trust territory), west new guinea (indonesia), and papua new guinea, 752 sera were examined for fluorescent antibodies to the four species of human malaria, and the results were compared to already published parasite survey data based on blood smears and medical examinations. antib ... | 1976 | 795310 |
| malaria transmission and fetal growth. | in view of the known relation between infection of the maternal circulation of the placenta with plasmodium falciparum and impaired fetal growth a study was made of the effect on birth weights of a malaria eradication campaign in the british solomon islands. mean birth weights rose substantially within months of starting antimalarial operations. the increases between 1969 and 1971 averaged 252 g in babies of primigravidae and 165 g in all babies. the proportion of babies with birth weights of le ... | 1974 | 4606777 |
| kir3dl1/s1 genotypes and kir2ds4 allelic variants in the ab kir genotypes are associated with plasmodium-positive individuals in malaria infection. | the importance of innate immunity in malaria has been suggested for early protection from maturation and multiplication of plasmodium parasites injected via infected mosquitoes. in this study, the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (kir) genes in innate immunity were investigated for an association with malaria in the comparison between plasmodium-positive and plasmodium-negative melanesian individuals in the solomon islands, one of the most hyperendemic malaria regions in the world. the h ... | 2010 | 19859704 |
