| plasmodium falciparum sensitivity in "in-vivo" and its distribution in geo-ecological zones of gujarat. | plasmodium falciparum sensitivity test in "in-vivo" carried out in 450 patients revealed, parasite clearance in 66.45 percent cases with 25 mgm/kg body wt of chloroquine. mean parasite clearance time (mpct) of sensitive and r i, resistant cases reached near parallelism with an early recrudescence in ri cases indicating stabilisation of genetic change in the parasite strain. the analysis of data revealed that proportionately higher resistance was recorded in coastal area having deciduous (wet) fo ... | 1994 | 7989673 |
| epidemiological observations on malaria in villages of buhari phc, surat, gujarat. | investigations were carried out in the villages of buhari phc, surat district, gujarat to determine factors responsible for high prevalence of p. falciparum. the area is well-known for sugarcane cultivation, industrialization and frequent movement of labourers. the slide positivity rate (44.24%) and p. falciparum infections (95.37%) were significantly high. the children of 5-9 yrs of age group suffered maximum from malaria. the infection in children was found associated with splenomegaly also. h ... | 1995 | 8867060 |
