| relation between malaria serum gamma-globulin concentration and the d-xylose absorption test. | d-xylose excretion after a 25 g. oral load was determined in 15 african subjects suffering from malaria. nine of them were re-investigated after the malaria had been or was being treated. malarial parasitaemia and pyrexia did not significantly influence results of the d-xylose test. however, in the untreated subjects, there was a significant inverse correlation between the weight of d-xylose excreted and the serum gamma-globulin concentrations. the observation may have a nutritional importance. | 1975 | 49959 |

| epstein-barr virus transformation of saimiri sciureus (squirrel monkey) b cells and generation of a plasmodium brasilianum-specific monoclonal antibody in p. brasilianum-infected monkeys. | the new-world monkeys saimiri sciureus (squirrel monkeys) are currently used as a model to test the efficacy of vaccines against human malaria. to improve our knowledge on this model, we tested the susceptibility of s. sciureus b cells to epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection. b-lymphoblastoid cell lines were obtained from six of six healthy animals after infection with the b95-8 source of ebv. the frequency distributions of spleen b cells clonally committed to the production of immunoglobulins m a ... | 1991 | 1646769 |
| plasmodium falciparum and p. malariae epidemiology in a west african village. | transmission of plasmodium falciparum and p. malariae was studied in a village in burkina faso. consecutive captures of mosquitos were organized twice a month over a year and the species of the mosquitos identified. also, the prevalences and densities of plasmodium spp. were determined every 2 months in a sample of children who lived in the village. anopheles gambiae, a. funestus, and a. nili were the local vectors, but only the first two played a predominant role in both p. falciparum and p. ma ... | 1991 | 1677615 |
| in vivo platelet aggregation in acute malaria. | thirteen patients suffering from acute malaria attack and thirteen apparently healthy human volunteers (control) were used for the study. platelet aggregation was determined by platelet count ratio technique in which a reduction in platelet count ratio signified an increase in platelet aggregation. platelet count ratio in acute malaria patients was 0.75 +/- 0.03 (sem). platelet count ratio in subjects used as control was 0.88 +/- 0.02. this value was significantly higher than the former (p less ... | 1991 | 1685303 |
| multiple antigen peptides for specific detection of antibodies to a malaria antigen in human sera. | multiple antigen peptides (map), consisting of a number of peptide copies synthesized on a branching lysyl core, offer a novel approach for rendering small peptides immunoreactive in solid-phase immunoassays. an octameric map, carrying 6 repeats of the sequence -n-a-a-g-, tandem repeated in the immunodominant region of the circumsporozoite (cs) protein of plasmodium malariae, was used as a model to evaluate the suitability of the map system in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa ... | 1991 | 1720420 |
| reassessment of blood donor selection criteria for united states travelers to malarious areas. | in the united states (us), travelers who have had malaria or who have taken antimalarial chemoprophylaxis are deferred as blood donors for 3 years to prevent transfusion-transmitted malaria. to assess the impact of shortening this 3-year exclusion period, national malaria surveillance data from 1972 to 1988 were reviewed. the average annual rate of transfusion-transmitted malaria is 0.25 cases per million units of blood collected. of 45 reported cases, 38 percent were caused by plasmodium malari ... | 1991 | 1755083 |
| laboratory diagnosis of malaria. | diagnostic procedures for the detection of malaria differ considerably depending on the aims of evaluation. the current requirements of any laboratory procedure for general application to the detection and diagnosis of malaria include: sensitivity, specificity, simplicity in application, unambiguous interpretation, and rapid turn-around time. presently the differential stained thick and thin blood smear, examined under the microscope, remains the most reliable and definitive test for diagnosis o ... | 1991 | 1802530 |
