[the question of anhaptoglobinemia in immigrants from west africa (author's transl)].studying the plasmatic level and the phenotype of haptoglobine (hp) in 71 west africans living in france, the authors did not record any case of absence of hp (hpo) and did not see any significant correlation between the hp and the duration of stay in france. they conclude that plasmodium falciparum likely does not play any role in the origin of the hpo peculiarity in west african immigrants.1978745527
chemotaxis and movement of physarum polycephalum and its responses to some neurotransmitters and psychomimetic compounds.a method was developed for studying the effect of some neurotransmitters and drugs on the rate of movement and the chemotactic value of the plasmodium of physarum polycephalum. epinephrine (adrenaline) at a concentration of 1 mg/ml, reduced the rate of movement and shortened the length of the cycles of shuttle streaming, but did not affect the chemotactic response. the drugs dl-amphetamine, cannabinol and heroin diminished the rate of movement, whereas na-barbitol misled the chemotactic response ...1977753899

the treatment of malaria.at least four doses of quinine followed by a single dose of mefloquine or by a single dose of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine are two highly effective regimens for chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. mefloquine alone is valuable in ambulant patients. chloroquine-sensitive falciparum malaria can be treated with a course of chloroquine. vivax and all other types of malaria should be treated with sequential chloroquine and primaquine. quinine, by intravenous infusion, is the most effective drug for ...1976764937
receptivity to malaria in europe.experimental work has confirmed the refractoriness of anopheles atroparvus to tropical strains of plasmodium falciparum to which a. labranchiae may also be refractory. this indicates a lower receptivity to malaria in europe than the existing vector densities and increasing number of parasite carriers would suggest.1975764992
a strain of plasmodium vivax characterized by prolonged incubation: morphological and biological characteristics.numerous strains of p. vivax, distinguishable chiefly by their biological characteristics, are known to exist. two main varieties are recognized: the so-called temperate and tropical strains. the most extreme example of the former-designated by nikolaev as p. vivax hibernans-constantly exhibited an extremely long incubation period. the strain is no longer in existence and no type material has been preserved. in its place, a north korean strain with a generally long incubation period has been stu ...1975764993
thick-smear plasmodium falciparum antigen from in vitro cultures for the indirect fluorescent antibody test.an important prerequisite for serological studies is the availability of specific antigens with which a high, consistently reproducible degree of test sensitivity can be obtained. in the present study, thick films of p. falciparum antigen were made from in vitro cultures in order to evaluate this antigen in terms of the sensitivity and reproducibility of the indirect fluorescent antibody test, as compared with an antigen prepared from washed infected erythrocytes of aotus trivirgatus monkeys. th ...1975764994
dynamics of thymidine incorporation by spleen cells from rats infected with plasmodium berghei.the in vitro incorporation of thymidine by spleen cells of rat infected with plasmodium berghei was higher than that of normal rat spleen cells. the incorporation was proportional to the number of cells in the system and was related to the day of infection, e.g. spleen cells from malarious rats incorporated up to forty times as much thymidine as did normal spleen cells 21 days after inoculation. at the same time, the response of the malarious spleen cells to phytohaemagglutinin (pha) was only on ...1975765025

the plasmodium berghei-infection in isogenic f1(c57b1 x dba)-mice. ii. antibodies and antigens in the serum.using the fluorescent antibody technique it was possible to demonstrate antibodies in the sera of f1(c57b1 x dba)-mice already during the first week of infection with plasmodium berghei, strain k 173. these antibodies reached high titers during the second and third week, but, nevertheless, the animals died from the infection. coincidently with the fat-antibodies plasmodial antigens could be found in the sera of infected mice. the numbers of these antigens increased in the course of the infection ...1976769269
plasmodium berghei: characteristics of a selected population of small free blood stage parasites.the characteristics of a selected population of small blood stage parasites obtained by differential centrifugation of a population of p. berghei parasites freed by continuous flow sonication are described. about 10% of these free parasites are merozoites, many others are transitional forms having some merozoite characteristics. the parasite preparations are infectious and sufficiently resistant to incubation at 37 degrees c to be useful experimentally. disc gel electrophoresis analysis indicate ...1976769270
transfusion malaria as a consequence of the 1974 war between turkey and greece--two cases.two cases of transfusion induced plasmodium malariae malaria that occurred in august and september 1974 in new york city were direct results of the outbreak of war between turkey and greece on the island of cyprus in july 1974. the cases could be traced to two greek immigrants with latent infection (one being the longest ever recorded) who independently donated blood after solicitation for people in need living in the country of their ancestors. in view of current rules for donor acceptability, ...1976769569
chloroquine sensitivity of plasmodium falciparum in ethiopia. ii. results of an in vitro test.field trials were performed in two areas of ethiopia with the rieckmann in vitro test for chloroquine sensitivity of plasmodium falciparum. blood cultures from 82 test subjects showed growth of trophozoites to the schizont stage in control vials. growth in test vials occurred in 21 cultures incubated with chloroquine at concentrations of 0.5 nanomoles or more per ml of blood. in vitro results confirm previous results obtained with an in vivo test.1976769570
febrile illnesses resulting in hospital admission: a bacteriological and serological study in jakarta, indonesia.a study of 741 indonesian patients with fever was carried out in order to determine what serious febrile illnesses are prevalent in jakarta. all patients were hospitalized primarily because of fever and were studied by bacteriological and serological methods. bacteremia due to salmonella typhi (150 cases), s. enteritidis (36 cases), or both (2 cases) was common in both children and adults. one s. enteritidis isolate was chloramphenicol resistant. serological evidence of salmonella infection was ...1976769571
single-dose therapy of falciparum malaria using pyrimethamine in combination with diformyldapsone or sulfadoxine.patients with naturally acquired chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria were studied in thailand. the fixed combination of pyrimethamine 75 mg and sulfadoxine 1,500 mg (adult dose) cured 85% of patients with an average pretreatment parasite count of 60,000 per mm(3). the fixed combination of pyrimethamine 50 mg and 800 mg diformyldapsone (dfd) cured 43% of patients with an average pretreatment parasite count of only 17,000 per mm(3). the difference in cure rates was statistically significant ( ...1976769572
the seroepidemiology of malaria in middle america. iii. serologic assessment of localized plasmodium falciparum epidemics.epidemiologic studies were done in two localities, one in panama and one in el salvador, where outbreaks of plasmodium falciparum malaria occurred. the indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) method was helpful in defining the intensity of the outbreaks, the species of parasite involved, and, through parallel surveys of adjacent localities, the localized character of outbreaks. in escobal, panama 71 (34%) of 211 persons examined were ifa-positive for p. falciparum, although only 1 positive blood fil ...1976769573
chloroquine sensitivity of plasmodium falciparum in ethiopia. i. results of an in vivo test.the in vivo response of plasmodium falciparum to the who single test dose (10 mg/kg body weight) of chloroquine base was examined in ethiopia at four localities where malaria was meso- or hyperendemic. parasitemias cleared by the 3rd day after chloroquine administration in all of the 150 test subjects. no recrudescences were detected during the 6-day or 11-day follow-up periods. the value of the in vivo test was severely limited by the inability to quarantine subjects and follow them for the 28- ...1976769574
malarial antibodies measured by the indirect hemagglutination test in west african children.the indirect hemagglutination test with plasmodium falciparum antigen was used to measure malarial antibodies in filter paper blood specimens from 527 west african children. a slight decline in antibodies was noted in 6- to 8-month-old children wh o had no malaria parasites in their blood smears. children older than 10 months had similar antibody levels regardless of the presence or absence of demonstrated parasites in blood smears.1976769576
a temporal relationship between reticuloendothelial system phagocytic alterations and antibody responses in mice infected with plasmodium berghei (nyu-2 strain).malaria-induced immunosuppression has been demonstrated in humans and experimental animals. the suppressed immune response has been suggested to be primarily humoral and not cellular in nature, since classical lymphocytic cell-mediated responses have been reported to be normal. since previous results have demonstrated that an impairment in macrophage antigen processing may be a contributing factor in malaria-induced immunosuppression, the present studies were conducted to determine if the macrop ...1976769577
suppressive activity of mefloquine in sporozoite-induced human malaria.mefloquine hydrochloride [wr 142,490; alpha-(2-piperidyl)-2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4-quinolinemethanol hydrochloride] was tested for suppressive effect on sporozoite-induced malaria in nonimmune volunteers living in an area where malaria is not naturally transmitted. single doses of 250 mg were given at weekly intervals, 500 mg at intervals of 2 weeks and 1,000 mg at intervals of 4 weeks, to men bitten by 10 to 15 mosquitoes heavily infected with a chloroquine- and pyrimethamine-resistant strain ...1976769678

antimalarials. 3. 1,2,4-triazines.the syntheses of a number of substituted 1,2,4-triazines as potential antimalarials are described. the structural requirements for antimalarial activity are discussed with reference to the substituents of a phenyl group in the 6 position and amino groups at the 3 and 5 positions. of the compounds tested, 2,5, and 7 produced cures in mice infected with plasmodium berghei. compounds 2(3,5-diamino-6-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazine),3,5,8,12,and 37 produced cures in chicks infected with pla ...1976781244
synthesis, antimalarial activity, and phototoxicity of some benzo(h)quinoline-4-methanols.nine alpha-dibutylaminomethylbenzo[h]quinoline-4-methanols were synthesized from the corresponding 1-amino-naphthalenes by the following sequence: 1-aminonaphthalene leads to 1h-benz[g]indole-2,3-dione leads to benzo[h]quinoline-4-carboxylic acid leads to acid chloride leads to bromomethyl ketone leads to epoxide leads to benzo[h]quinoline-4-methanol. several acid chlorides substituted in the 3 position reacted incompletely with ethereal diazomethane but were efficiently converted, without isola ...1976781245
antimalarials. 9. methylthio- and methylsulfonyl-substituted 9-phenanthrenemethanols.nine di- and trisubstituted 9-phenanthrenemethanols bearing methylthio and methylfulfonyl substituents in the 2 and/or 6 positions of the phenanthrene nucleus were prepared and screened for antimalarial activity against plasmodium berghei in mice. six of the nine compounds were curative at or below 160 mg/kg. the most active structures contained a methylthio substituent in combination with two chlorine atoms.1976781249

human malaria parasites in continuous culture.plasmodium falciparum can now be maintained in continuous culture in human erythrocytes incubated at 38 degrees c in rpmi 1640 medium with human serum under an atmosphere with 7 percent carbon dioxide and low oxygen (1 or 5 percent). the original parasite material, derived from an infected aotus trivirgatus monkey, was diluted more than 100 million times by the addition of human erythrocytes at 3- or 4-day intervals. the parasites continued to reproduce in their normal asexual cycle of approxima ...1976781840
the plasmodium berghei-infection in isogenic f1 (c57b1 x dba)- mice. iii. neonatal thymectomy and cell transfer experiments.in neonatally thymectomized f1(c57bl x dba)-mice the course of an infection with plasmodium berghei, strain k 173, was unaltered if compared with the course in normal animals. no shortening of the survival time was observed. cell transfer experiments were carried out. in numerous trials it was not possible to convey the protective immunity of immune animals to non-immune animals by the transfer of lymphoid cells. if an acquired immunity was destroyed by heavy x-irradiation it could be restored b ...1976781956
malaria - the mime. recent lessons from a group of civilian travellers.clinical data on 24 civilian patients hospitalized for malaria in the new york hospital were analyzed. of 16 patients infected with plasmodium falciparum, 14 acquired the disease in west africa. only three of the 24 had taken recommended courses of prophylaxis. diagnosis was invariably, and often dangerously, delayed because physicians often made diagnoses of viral syndromes or used antibiotics; only one patient had a blood smear taken by a personal physician. although all patients had fever and ...1976782238
