| species prevalence of malaria in northern and southern sudan, and control by mass chemoprophylaxis. | a survey in northern and southern sudan showed that plasmodium falciparum is the predominant species in malaria cases, occurring in 91% and 87%, respectively of the positive cases in these two regions. p. ovale was extremely rare in southern sudan and was absent in the north. the survey, which was carried out during the transmission season in northern sudan, showed that malaria is common, occurring in 62% of those tested in some villages. a trial of mass chemoprophylaxis resulted in a marked de ... | 1978 | 362954 |
| malaria in the nuba mountains of sudan: baseline genotypic resistance and efficacy of the artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and artesunate plus amodiaquine combinations. | both northern and southern sudan are deploying artemisinin-based combinations against uncomplicated plasmodium falciparum malaria (artesunate+sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine [as+sp] in the north, artesunate+amodiaquine [as+aq] in the south). in 2003, we tested the efficacy of 3 day as+sp and as+aq regimens in vivo in the isolated, seasonally endemic nuba mountains region (the first study of as combinations in southern sudan). we also analysed pre-treatment blood samples for mutations at the p. falcipa ... | 2005 | 15869770 |
| the spatial-temporal clustering of plasmodium falciparum infection over eleven years in gezira state, the sudan. | malaria infection and disease exhibit microgeographic heterogeneity which if predictable could have implications for designing small-area intervention. here, the space-time clustering of plasmodium falciparum infections using data from repeat cross-sectional surveys in gezira state, a low transmission area in northern sudan, is investigated. | 2010 | 20565854 |
| self-reported fever, treatment actions and malaria infection prevalence in the northern states of sudan. | abstract: background: the epidemiology of fevers and their management in areas of low malaria transmission in africa is not well understood. the characteristics of fever, its treatment and association with infection prevalence from a national household sample survey in the northern states of sudan, an area that represents historically low parasite prevalence, are examined in this study. methods: in october-november 2009, a cluster sample cross-sectional household malaria indicator survey was und ... | 2011 | 21575152 |
