Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that was only endemic in
Africa and south Asia until 2005 and 2006, when the virus spread into the Indian
Ocean islands, Europe, and Asia. Autochthonous CHIKV transmission in the
Caribbean islands was reported in December of 2013. In Panama, two febrile cases
were detected in May of 2014: one traveling from Haiti, and the other traveling

Sex Affects the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Primaquine but Not Doxycycline in Healthy SubjectsAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 81 Số 5 - Trang 747-753 - 2009
Vu Q. Binh, Nguyen Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Trong Chinh, Bui Tri Cuong, Thomas Travers, Bui Dai, Michelle L. Gatton, Nguyễn Xuân Thành
We evaluated whether sex affects the steady-state pharmacokinetics of the
antimalarial drugs, primaquine and doxycycline, in healthy subjects. Seventeen
male and 17 female healthy Vietnamese subjects were administered 30 mg (base) of
primaquine daily for 14 days. After a 2-week washout period, 14 male and 14
female subjects were administered 100 mg (base) of doxycycline daily for 14
days. Women ha... hiện toàn bộ
AMINO ACID MUTATIONS IN PLASMODIUM VIVAX DHFR AND DHPS FROM SEVERAL GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO ANTIFOLATE DRUGSAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 75 Số 4 - Trang 617-621 - 2006

The increasing use of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for the treatment of
chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum has resulted in increased reports of
SP resistance of P. falciparum worldwide. Selection of SP-resistant Plasmodium
vivax in areas where P. falciparum and P. vivax co-exist is not entirely clear.
We examined the prevalence and extent of point mutations in pvdhfr and pvdhps in
70 P.... hiện toàn bộ
The neglected burden of Plasmodium vivax malariaAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 64 Số 1_Suppl - Trang 97-106 - 2001
Kamini Mendis, Barbara Sina, Paola Marchesini, R Carter
We estimate that the global burden of malaria due to Plasmodium vivax is
approximately 70-80 million cases annually. Probably approximately 10-20% of the
world's cases of P. vivax infection occur in Africa, south of the Sahara. In
eastern and southern Africa, P. vivax represents around 10% of malaria cases but
< 1% of cases in western and central Africa. Outside of African, P. vivax
accounts for >... hiện toàn bộ
Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria: A Report on Serial Cases from Bikaner in Northwestern IndiaAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 80 Số 2 - Trang 194-198 - 2009
D K Kochar, Vikas Gupta, Vishal Saxena, Ashish Das, Anju Kochar, Parmendra Sirohi, Sanjay Kumar Kochar, Mahesh P. Khatri
Epidemiologic studies and clinical description of severe Plasmodium vivax
malaria in adults living in malaria-endemic areas are rare and more attention is
needed to understand the dynamics and its interaction with the immune system.
This observational study included 1,091 adult patients admitted to medical wards
of S. P. Medical College and associated group of hospitals in Bikaner, India
from Sept... hiện toàn bộ
Immunity and morbidity in Schistosoma mansoni infection: quantitative aspectsAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 55 Số 5_Suppl - Trang 109-115 - 1996
André M. Deelder, Walter Jaoko, R. F. Sturrock, David W. Dunne, Anthony J. C. Fulford
Immunity to Schistosoma mansoni infection in humans can be studied most easily
by monitoring serially the intensity of reinfection that occurs among
individuals who have undergone chemotherapeutic cure, and whose levels of
exposure to contaminated water is subsequently observed. Parallel studies can
then be made of those immune responses that are correlated with an observed
resistance to reinfecti... hiện toàn bộ
Antihelminthic Therapy and Antimony in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Patients Co-Infected with Helminths and Leishmania braziliensisAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 84 Số 4 - Trang 551-555 - 2011
Tracey Newlove, Luiz Henrique Guimarães, Daniel J. Morgan, Luíz Carlos Júnior Alcântara, Marshall J. Glesby, Edgar M. Carvalho, Paulo Roberto Lima Machado
Helminth infections influence the clinical response to certain diseases and are
associated with delayed healing time of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis
(CL) caused by Leishmania braziliensis. We conducted a randomized, double-blind,
placebo-controlled clinical trial to examine the role of early versus deferred
treatment of intestinal helminth infection on the clinical course of patients
