Reduced transplacental transfer of a subset of Epstein-Barr virus-specific antibodies to neonates of mothers infected with Plasmodium falciparum malaria during pre...
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-11-01)
Over 35% of children in a region of malaria endemicity are infected with Epstein-
Barr virus (EBV) by 6 months of age. This susceptibility may be linked to impaired
transplacental transfer of antibodies. In this study, ...
MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS RESISTANCE TO ISONIAZID AND RIFAMPICIN IN A HIV-1 ENDEMIC POPULATION IN WESTERN KENYA IN 2014
(BMJ Specialist Journals, 2017-02-01)
Background The spread of mono-resistant and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB)
has been enhanced by delays in the identification of resistant strains. However, resistance
gene patterns and the extent and ...
Pyrethroid susceptibility of malaria vectors in four Districts of western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2014-07-04)
Increasing pyrethroid resistance in malaria vectors has been reported in
western Kenya where long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying
(IRS) are the mainstays of vector control. To ensure the ...
Sickle cell trait is not associated with endemic Burkitt lymphoma: An ethnicity and malaria endemicity‐matched case–control study suggests factors controlling EBV...
(2014-02)
Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is associated with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and
Plasmodium falciparum coinfections. Malaria appears to dysregulate immunity that would
otherwise control EBV, thereby contributing to eBL ...
Interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms and risk of endemic Burkitt lymphoma
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014-09-03)
Overexpression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 in endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL)
may facilitate tumorigenesis by providing a permissive cytokine milieu. Promoter
polymorphisms influence interindividual differences ...
