| a polymorphic multigene family encoding an immunodominant protein from babesia microti. | human babesiosis in the united states is caused predominantly by babesia microti, a tick-transmitted blood parasite. improved testing methods for the detection of infection with this parasite are needed, since asymptomatic b. microti infection represents a potential threat to the blood supply in areas where b. microti is endemic. we performed immunoscreening of an expression library of genomic dna from a human isolate of b. microti (strain mn1). among 17 unique immunoreactive clones, we identifi ... | 2000 | 10618117 |
| possible autochthonous malaria from marseille to minneapolis. | we report 2 cases of plasmodium falciparum malaria in southern france in a french woman and an american man of togolese origin who reported no recent travel to malaria-endemic countries. both infections occurred after a stay near marseille, which raises the possibility of autochthonous transmission. entomologic and genotypic investigations are described. | 2007 | 17953101 |
| the changing epidemiology of malaria in minnesota. | malaria cases reported to the minnesota department of health increased from 5 in 1988 to 76 in 1998, paralleling the number of immigrants to minnesota. in 20% of cases, the plasmodium species was not identified; 44% of cases were hospitalized. the public health community needs to reevaluate current recommendations for refugee screening, provider and patient education, and laboratory capacity. | 2001 | 11747727 |
| splenomegaly in hmong refugees. | we review asymptomatic splenomegaly in indochinese refugees and provide recommendations for evaluation of the problem. prevalence of splenomegaly in newly arrived indochinese refugees was 2.5%, three times more prevalent in the hmong than in the non-hmong refugees. male hmong refugees aged 15 to 29 years had the highest prevalence (10%). for the 50 hmong refugees studied, there was no evidence that their splenomegaly was caused by clonorchiasis, schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, syphillis, lymphoma ... | 1984 | 6696560 |
| hematozoa of wild turkeys from the midwestern united states: translocation of wild turkeys and its potential role in the introduction of plasmodium kempi. | twenty-three of 310 blood samples taken from live-trapped eastern wild turkeys (meleagris gallopavo silvestris) from missouri (usa), and hunter-killed birds from wisconsin, north dakota and minnesota (usa), and inoculated into domestic broad-breasted-white turkey poults were positive for two species of plasmodium. twenty-one of the positive samples were infected with p. (novyella) kempi, and two samples from wisconsin were infected with p. (giovannolaia) lophurae. twenty percent of 310 blood sme ... | 1990 | 2338722 |
