Presence of the knockdown resistance mutation, Vgsc-1014F in Anopheles gambiae and An. arabiensis in western Kenya
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-01)
Conclusion This is the first report of Vgsc-1014F in Kenya. Based on our samples, the
mutation is present in low frequencies in both An. gambiae and An. arabiensis. It is important
that we start monitoring relative ...
Functional Haplotypes of Fc gamma (Fcγ) receptor (FcγRIIA and FcγRIIIB) predict risk to repeated episodes of severe malarial anemia and mortality in Kenyan children
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-02-01)
Development of protective immunity against Plasmodium falciparum is partially
mediated through binding of malaria-specific IgG to Fc gamma (γ) receptors. Variations in
human FcγRIIA-H/R-131 and FcγRIIIB-NA1/NA2 affect ...
Polymorphic variability in the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of IL12B is associated with susceptibility to severe anaemia in Kenyan children with acute Plasmodium falc...
(BioMed Central, 2011-08-06)
Plasmodium falciparum malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and
mortality among African children. Innate immunity provides the first line of defence against P.
falciparum infections, particularly in young children ...
Increased severe anemia in HIV-1-exposed and HIV-1-positive infants and children during acute malaria
(AIDS, 2005)
Increased severe anemia in HIV-1-exposed and HIV-1-positive infants and children during acute malaria
(− 7402 T/G and-4729G/A) condition susceptibility to pediatric severe malarial anemia but not circulating IL-13 levels
(Bio Med Central, 2013)
In holoendemic Plasmodium falciparum transmission areas such as western Kenya, severe
malarial anemia [SMA, hemoglobin (Hb)< 6.0 g/dL, with any density parasitemia] is the most
common clinical manifestation of severe ...
Dose-Effects of Bednets Impregnated with a Natural Pyrethrins Formulation: Persistence, Feeding Inhibition, and Wash Resistance against Anopheles gambiae ss
(2012)
This study evaluated dose-response, persistence, irritancy and wash
resistance of mosquito nets treated with a synergized natural pyrethrins-formulation against
Anopheles gambiae ss Methods. Multi-filament polyester ...
