haemostatic alterations in malaria correlate to parasitaemia.fibrin(ogen) degradation products, platelet counts, antithrombin iii, and the components of the factor viii complex were studied in a total of 80 patients with plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax or plasmodium ovale infections. the haemostatic findings were correlated to the numbers of parasitized erythrocytes and to each other. the results indicate that haemostatic changes in malaria correlate with the degree of parasitaemia. evidence for moderate hyperfibrinolysis was found in patients wit ...19853933596
ultrastructure of human erythrocytes infected with plasmodium ovale.ultrastructural changes of the human erythrocytes infected with plasmodium ovale were studied, and differences of p. ovale from other human malarial parasites were discussed. four characteristic morphological alterations were observed on the host cells: caveola-vesicle complex, excrescence, nodule, and cytoplasmic cleft. caveola-vesicle complexes consisted of caveolae surrounded by vesicles in an alveolar fashion and were formed along the host cell plasmalemma. similar complexes have been report ...19863728792
ultrastructure of erythrocytic stages of plasmodium ovale in humans.an electron microscopic study of plasmodium ovale in humans supplied information on the fine structure of erythrocytic trophozoites, presegmenting schizonts and gametocytes. ultrastructural features of p. ovale appeared quite similar to those described in other mammalian malarial parasites. however, some minor structural variations were observed. the parasite was a fairly compact cell of an oval shape. however, occasionally trophozoites had slender cytoplasmic protrusions. ingestion of host cell ...19863728791
post-transfusion acquired malaria complicating orthotopic liver transplantation.early infectious complications within the first 3 months of orthotopic liver transplantation are common and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. here we report the first case of transfusion-acquired malaria in an orthotopic liver transplantation recipient. the patient was found to have plasmodium ovale malaria during evaluation of a severe febrile illness. the infection was traced to a platelet transfusion and responded to treatment with chloroquine. risk factors associated w ...19968607511
[malaria and drug resistance].drug resistance is a major problem in malaria. the resistance mechanism remains unresolved but contributing factors are probably heavy drug use, parasite selection, cross resistance and genetic influences of drugs. plasmodium ovale en p. malariae are sensitive to the current antimalarial drugs. p. vivax has some chloroquine resistant strains, notably on papua new guinea, irian jaya and other islands in the pacific. the geographical distribution of p. falciparum strains resistant to proguanil and ...19968618636
infection of chimpanzees with nigerian i/cdc strain of plasmodium ovale.seven splenectomized chimpanzees were infected with the nigerian i/cdc strain of plasmodium ovale. two of the animals had no history of previous malarial infection whereas three had been infected with p. vivax, one with p. malariae, and one with p. vivax and p. malariae. the two animals with no previous malarial experience had maximum parasitemias of 88,700 and 127,000 per mm3 while the other animals had maximum parasitemias ranging from 10,100 to 60,600 per mm3. anopheles freeborni, an. dirus, ...19873688304

localization of circumsporozoite protein of plasmodium ovale in midgut oocysts.circumsporozoite (cs) proteins are the major proteins found on the surface of salivary gland sporozoites and are the protective antigens of several species of malaria parasites. little is known about the distribution of cs proteins in developing oocysts, however. immunoelectron microscopy with protein a-gold and a monoclonal antibody specific for the cs protein of plasmodium ovale was performed to investigate the distribution of cs protein within developing p. ovale oocysts. there was an almost ...19873679537
short report: rosette formation in plasmodium ovale infection.red blood cells infected by mature stages of plasmodium ovale obtained from a 56-year-old thai patient formed rosettes readily with uninfected erythrocytes. ex vivo, the ring stage-infected erythrocytes matured well under the in vitro conditions used for p. falciparum culture, and the infected erythrocytes formed rosettes when the parasites became mature trophozoites. these rosettes were stable and remained intact until completion of schizogony. plasmodium ovale rosettes were similar to those fo ...19968940990
plasmodium ovale: in vitro development of hepatic stages.primary cultures of human hepatocytes, a culture-derived clone from the human hepatoma hep g2 line, and cultured rat hepatocytes were inoculated in vitro with plasmodium ovale sporozoites extracted from anopheles stephensi, an. gambiae, and an. dirus mosquitoes. penetration and differentiation of p. ovale sporozoites into trophozoite stage parasites occurred in all three cell types, but with a lower transformation rate in the hep g2 cell line than in the primary cultured hepatocytes. further mat ...19873678445
pyronaridine for treatment of plasmodium ovale and plasmodium malariae infections.the clinical efficacy of oral pyronaridine was assessed in 22 symptomatic cameroonian patients infected with plasmodium ovale or plasmodium malariae. all patients were cured on or before day 4. in vitro drug assays confirmed the sensitivity of p. ovale and p. malariae isolates to chloroquine and pyronaridine.19979333075
circumsporozoite protein of the human malaria parasite plasmodium ovale identified with monoclonal antibodies.monoclonal antibodies (mabs) have been produced against plasmodium ovale sporozoites and used to characterize the circumsporozoite (cs) protein. six mabs were produced, and all were species specific. by using western blot (immunoblot) analysis, three polypeptides were detected: a predominant 51,000-mr polypeptide and two presumed precursor 57,000- and 67,000-mr molecules. the presence of a repeating epitope in the cs protein of p. ovale was demonstrated by using one of the mabs in a single-antib ...19883338845
a variant of plasmodium ovale; analysis of its 18s ribosomal rna gene sequence.we report here a new variant of human malaria parasite found by comparison of diagnostic results obtained from a new dna diagnostic method named microtiter plate-hybridization (mph) and traditional microscopic method. total five cases of malaria were diagnosed as microscopy-positive but mph-negative; one case was found in epidemiological research in vietnam and four cases were obtained from imported malaria in japan. although they were quite similar to typical p. ovale morphologically in microsc ...19979586115
high prevalence of plasmodium malariae and plasmodium ovale in malaria patients along the thai-myanmar border, as revealed by acridine orange staining and pcr-based diagnoses.the prevalence of the four human malaria parasites was investigated among malaria patients at northern, central and southern towns in thailand along the border with myanmar between september 1995 and may 1996. thin smears obtained from 548 thai and burmese patients were reviewed by an acridine orange staining method, and many mixed infections with two to four species, including p. malariae and p. ovale, were detected. these diagnostic results were compared with those by two pcr-based diagnoses, ...19989623932
relapsing malaria infection acquired in kenya.an american physician-traveler to east africa presented with manifestations of cerebral malaria and was treated with intravenous quinidine for chloroquine-resistant falciparum malaria. he later relapsed with plasmodium ovale infection, despite previous primaquine therapy. treatment of chloroquine-resistant malaria is discussed. the difficulty in diagnosing p. ovale infections and the predominance of this malaria species over p. vivax in east africa are reviewed.19873300055
non-immune patients in the democratic republic of são tomé e principe reveal a high level of transmission of p. ovale and p. vivax despite low frequency in immune patients.malaria parasite species circulating in immune inhabitants of the democratic republic of são tomé e principe (drstp) and those acquired by non-immune travellers returning from this country have been compared. using sensitive detection and species identification by pcr, plasmodium parasites were found in the blood of 16 of the 43 travellers, who reported during the first 8 months of 1995 to a clinical diagnosis laboratory in lisbon. plasmodium vivax was found in four (25%) and plasmodium ovale in ...19989698266
current status and prospects of malaria vaccines.malaria is a parasitic disease caused by four plasmodium species infecting humans, plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax, plasmodium ovale, and plasmodium malariae. the parasite is transmitted by the anopheles mosquitoes that flourish in warm climates. these vectors thus are present in many tourist areas of the world, including africa, asia, and south america. known in china, as far back as 2700 bc, malaria was controlled by medicinal plants or drugs. this was until drug resistance occurred, b ...19959815369
seven patients with relapses of plasmodium vivax or p. ovale despite primaquine treatment.seven relapses of plasmodium vivax or plasmodium ovale despite standard treatment with primaquine (3.0 mg kg-1) daily for fourteen days are presented. the majority of patients came from areas outside the countries where resistance to primaquine is well known. the various possibilities of reasons for relapses are discussed.19873299660
concentration of plasmodium ovale- and plasmodium vivax-infected erythrocytes from nonhuman primate blood using percoll gradients.plasmodium vivax and plasmodium ovale schizont-infected erythrocytes were separated from peripheral blood by centrifugation using discontinuous percoll (colloidal silica) gradients. infected aotus monkey or chimpanzee blood was diluted and placed on a discontinuous gradient containing 30%, 40%, 45%, and 50% percoll (v/v in media) layers before centrifugation at 1,450 x g. parasitized erythrocytes were concentrated to greater than 95% schizont-infected cells in two bands that contained an average ...19863006527

[diagnostic test to identify human plasmodium species by the quantitative buffy coat test].the quantitative buffy coat system (qbc test) was designed for rapid diagnosis of malaria by identifying the presence of hemoparasites. the main drawback of the technique is failure to identify the plasmodium species. the purpose of this study was to attempt to remedy this problem by studying the distribution of the parasites at the bottom of the test tube. indeed since the qbc test is based on gradient centrifugation of blood components, the distribution of the parasites in the test tube depend ...199910701207
plasmodium: genus-conserved primers for species identification and quantitation.stable rnas have regions of primary sequence that are nearly identical in every member of the plasmodium genus and not found in the host or in other common pathogens. several "genus-conserved" sequences, which flank hypervariable regions, were identified within the small subunit ribosomal rna of plasmodium species. primers based on these conserved sequences permit amplification of species- or possibly even strain-specific sequences from samples of unknown composition. as an example of this appro ...19957556560
inoculum size and severity of malaria induced with plasmodium ovale.although it might be expected that the size of the infecting inoculum would influence the severity of the consequent malaria, evidence that it does so is scarce. using records from 80 non-immune neurosyphilis patients who received malaria therapy with a single strain of plasmodium ovale by blood inoculation, the relationships between the number of trophozoites inoculated, the prepatent period, and measures of severity of the resulting malaria were examined. the number of trophozoites was not rel ...19957785527

multispecies plasmodium infections of humans.we analyzed point-prevalence data from 19 recent studies of human populations in which either plasmodium ovale or plasmodium vivax co-occur with plasmodium falciparum and plasmodium malariae. although the only statistical interactions among, sympatric congeners are pairwise, the frequencies of mixed-species infections relative to standard hypotheses of species sampling independence show no strong relation to overall malaria prevalence. the striking difference between the p. falciparum-p. malaria ...199910207356
cross-species regulation of plasmodium parasitemia in semi-immune children from papua new guinea.malariologists have long been fascinated by the question of whether plasmodium spp. interact in the human host. the first genetic study of the longitudinal dynamics of multiple plasmodium spp. and genotypes in humans has been completed in papua new guinea, where all four plasmodium spp. that infect humans are present. the broad implications of the data from this study are covered here and they show that the total parasite density of plasmodium species oscillates around a threshold and that peaks ...200312798085
use of a rapid, single-round, multiplex pcr to detect malarial parasites and identify the species present.a new, rapid assay, based on a single-round, multiplex pcr, can be used to detect plasmodium falciparum, p. vivax, p. malariae or p. ovale in human blood. the pcr, which targets the conserved 18s small-subunit rna genes of the parasites, not only permits a malarial infection to be detected but also allows each plasmodium species present to be identified, even in cases of mixed infection.200312803868
malaria prevention in travelers.the prevention of malaria in travelers is becoming a more challenging clinical and public health problem because of the global development of drug-resistant plasmodium strains of malaria and the increasing popularity of travel to exotic locales. travelers can reduce their risk of acquiring malaria by using bed netting, wearing proper clothing and applying an insect repellent that contains n,n-diethyl-meta-toluamide. chloroquine, once the standard agent for weekly malaria prophylaxis, is no longe ...199910323359
