| chemotherapy of falciparum malaria: regional differences in responsiveness to treatment. | a review of chloroquine and sulfa-antifol combination treated falciparum malaria patients revealed a high incidence of chloroquine-resistance, wither r1 or r2, in patients infected in southeast asia or oceania. in addition, more than one tenth of the patients infected in laos or thailand were resistant to sulfa-antifol combinations. chloroquine-resistant cases were sensitive to sulfa-antifol combinations. on the other hand, while all patients treated in tokyo who had been infected in africa or s ... | 1979 | 396391 |
| mosquito blood-meal analysis for avian malaria study in wild bird communities: laboratory verification and application to culex sasai (diptera: culicidae) collected in tokyo, japan. | we conducted laboratory experiments to verify molecular techniques of avian malaria parasite detection distinguishing between an infected mosquito (oocysts on midgut wall) and infective mosquito (sporozoites in salivary glands) in parallel with blood-meal identification from individual blood-fed mosquitoes prior to application to field survey for avian malaria. domestic fowl infected with plasmodium gallinaceum was exposed to a vector and non-vector mosquito species, aedes aegypti and culex pipi ... | 2009 | 19629522 |
| entomological study on transmission of avian malaria parasites in a zoological garden in japan: bloodmeal identification and detection of avian malaria parasite dna from blood-fed mosquitoes. | several species of captive and wild birds have been found to be infected with various avian blood protozoa in japan. we investigated the prevalence and transmission of avian malaria parasite and determined the bloodmeal hosts of mosquitoes collected in a zoological garden in tokyo, japan, by using the polymerase chain reaction. in total, 310 unfed and 140 blood-fed mosquitoes of seven species were collected by using sweep nets and cdc traps. bloodmeal identification indicated that mosquitoes had ... | 2011 | 21661321 |
| malaria--eight years of experience in a tokyo metropolitan hospital. | malaria patients who were admitted to the department of infectious diseases of the tokyo metropolitan bokutoh general hospital during the past 8 years are reviewed. cases included 17 patients infected with plasmodium falciparum (14 japanese), 13 patients infected with p. vivax (9 japanese), 3 patients infected with p. ovale (2 japanese) and 1 chinese patient with a mixed infection of p. falciparum and p. vivax. about 70% of japanese patients infected with p. falciparum contracted the disease in ... | 1996 | 8680097 |
| [current situation of the malaria inspection in jikei university hospital]. | the current situation of the malaria inspection in our laboratory was investigated. malaria was detected by three different methods, may giemsa staining(mg), acridine orange staining(ao), and antigen detecting method using now ict malaria p.f./p.v. kit(ag). there were 207 requests a year(17.3 per month), and the holiday/night request occupied 12%. fifteen patients were positive, 5 with plasmodium falciparum (p.f.) and 10 with plasmodium vivax(p.v.), including 3 relapsed cases. all the patients w ... | 2004 | 15137318 |
| traffic optimization in railroad networks using an algorithm mimicking an amoeba-like organism, physarum plasmodium. | traffic optimization of railroad networks was considered using an algorithm that was biologically inspired by an amoeba-like organism, plasmodium of the true slime mold, physarum polycephalum. the organism developed a transportation network consisting of a tubular structure to transport protoplasm. it was reported that plasmodium can find the shortest path interconnecting multiple food sites during an adaptation process (nakagaki et al., 2001. biophys. chem. 92, 47-52). by mimicking the adaptati ... | 2011 | 21620930 |
| bloodmeal identification and detection of avian malaria parasite from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) inhabiting coastal areas of tokyo bay, japan. | bloodmeal identification and the detection of avian malaria parasite from mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) were carried out by polymerase chain reaction-based methods for field samples collected in coastal areas of tokyo bay, japan, from april to october 2007. the following seven mosquito species were collected: aedes albopictus (skuse), culex pipiens pallens coquillett, culex pipiens form molestus forskal, culex tritaeniorhynchus giles, culex inatomii kamimura & wada, culex bitaeniorhynchus gile ... | 2009 | 19769059 |
| prevalence of avian malaria parasite in mosquitoes collected at a zoological garden in japan. | several species of captive birds at zoological gardens of japan were found to be infected with avian plasmodium. however, incriminated vector mosquito species have not been identified yet. to indicate the competent vectors of avian malaria parasite, we collected mosquitoes at a zoological garden in japan and examined for the avian malaria parasite dna. totally, 1,361 mosquitoes of 11 species were collected in the zoological garden of kanagawa, the south of tokyo in japan in 2005. captured mosqui ... | 2009 | 19352704 |
