| [malaria indices, larval ecology and trophic activity of anopheles mosquitoes in djohong (adamaoua, cameroon) in the rainy season]. | in djohong in the wet season the prevalence of malaria is 17.5% for plasmodium falciparum and 1.1% for plasmodium malariae. in children 2 to 9 years of age the plasmodic index is 38.6% (mesoendemicity) for the children of the peasants and 9.4% for those belonging to other socioeconomical groups. in infants less than 12 months old, the plasmodic index is 9.3%, this relatively high rate corresponding to the high transmission period of the rainy season. anopheles gambiae is the mosquito species mos ... | 1993 | 8289630 |
| molecular epidemiology of malaria in cameroon. xxii. geographic mapping and distribution of plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) mutant alleles. | sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (sp) is still a useful drug to combat chloroquine-resistant plasmodium falciparum malaria in cameroon. because of several disadvantages of the in vivo test and in vitro drug sensitivity assays, molecular assays are an alternative laboratory tool to monitor the evolution of antifolate resistance, especially over the entire country that is characterized by several epidemiologic strata and malaria transmission patterns. in this study, 1,430 blood samples from either sympto ... | 2006 | 16968912 |
