Hematological Characteristics of Infants and Young Children Presenting with Different Levels of Malarial Anemia at a Rural District Hospital in Western Kenya.
(American Society of Hematology, 2006)
n areas of intense P. falciparum exposure, such as western Kenya, the most lethal complication of malaria is severe malarial anemia (SMA). The pathogenesis of SMA is multi-factorial and not fully understood. Our ongoing ...
Accuracy of an anaemia scoring chart applied on goats in sub-humid Kenya and its potential for control of Haemonchus contortus infections
(Elsevier, 2006)
We tested the practical application of an anaemia scoring chart (the FAMACHA© chart) as a method for controlling Haemonchus contortus in goats kept under smallholder conditions in a sub-humid area of Central Kenya. The ...
Prevalence of porcine cysticercosis and risk factors for Taenia solim cysticercosis/taeniosis in three divisions of Busia district, Kenya
(Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources, 2006)
Prevalence of porcine cysticercosis and risk factors for Taenia solim cysticercosis/taeniosis in three divisions of Busia district, Kenya.
Association of Fcγ receptor IIA (CD32) polymorphism with malarial anemia and high-density parasitemia in infants and young children
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG antibodies to Fcγ receptors. Polymorphic variability in Fcγ RIIa (H/R-131) is associated with differential ...
Suppression of RANTES in children with Plasmodium falciparum malaria
(Haematologica, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (MA) is the primary manifestation of severe malaria among
children in areas of holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission. Although overproduction of inflammatory-derived cytokines are implicated ...
A macrophage migration inhibitory factor promoter polymorphism is associated with high-density parasitemia in children with malaria
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses to bacterial and parasitic infections. Functional promoter variants in the MIF gene influence ...
Parasitemia, anemia, and malarial anemia in infants and young children in a rural holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission area
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006)
Malarial anemia (MA) is a multifactorial disease for which the complex etiological basis is only partially
defined. The association of clinical, nutritional, demographic, and socioeconomic factors with parasitemia, anemia, ...
Suppression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor in Children with Severe Malarial Anemia: Role of Monocyte-acquired Hemozoin
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2006)
Severe malarial anemia (SMA), caused by Plasmodium falciparum infections, is one of the
leading causes of childhood mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the molecular
determinants of SMA are largely undefined, ...
