| malaria risk in corsica, former hot spot of malaria in france. | background: the prevalence of plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium vivax malaria was very high in corsica just before the second world war. the last outbreak was in 1972 and the most recent indigenous case was in 2006. results: analysis of historical data shows that anopheline vectors were abundant. recent surveys demonstrated that potential vectors are still present in corsica, despite the likely disappearance of anopheles sacharovi. moreover, p. falciparum can develop experimentally into these ... | 2010 | 20704707 |
| tnfa locus is associated with beta degrees 39 thalassemia in corsica and sardinia. | malaria causes more than one million deaths annually, worldwide. understanding the genetic defenses against this disease is an important challenge for science. we know that the long-term presence of endemic malaria has led to a prevalence of the beta degrees 39 heterozygous thalassemia mutation in the two islands of corsica and sardinia. the populations of both islands are isolated, which could make it easier to find other genetic traits selected by disease pressure. we chose to investigate gene ... | 2008 | 19103526 |
| a case of autochthonous plasmodium vivax malaria, corsica, august 2006. | a case of plasmodium vivax malaria was diagnosed in corsica in summer 2006. this is the first case of autochthonous transmission of malaria to be reported in corsica since 1972. corsica is a well-known malaria endemic region characterised, for several years now by an anophelism situation without malaria disease, due to the presence of an. labranchiae and an. saccharovi able to transmit p. vivax. the occurring sequence of malaria signs in an imported case on 9 july and in an autochthonous case on ... | 2008 | 18342272 |
