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 ...
Isolation of Salmonella and Shigella from fish harvested from the Winam Gulf of Lake Victoria, Kenya.
(University of Nairobi., 2009)
Human infections caused by pathogens transmitted from fish are quite common. The aim of this study was to isolate enteric pathogenic bacteria from fish that might be transmitted to humans after the handling or consumption ...
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, ...
Role of monocyte-acquired hemozoin in suppression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in children with severe malarial anemia
(American Society for Microbiology Journals, 2007)
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, ...
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, ...
