We detected a case of Plasmodium malariae in Chittagong, Bangladesh, using traditional microscopy and pan malarial Immunochromatographic Test (ICT). The person was an adult male, presented clinically as severe malaria. Blood slide examination by microscopy and pan malarial ICT revealed the case as Plasmodium malariae infection. The patient presented as severe malaria case for which he was hospitalized and recovered after seven days of quinine treatment.

Abstract Malaria is a major world health problem. It results from infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the major human malarias, with P falciparum being the more virulent. During their blood stages of infection, both P falciparum and P vivax induce anemia. Severe malarial anemia caused by P falciparum is responsible for approximately a third of the deaths associated with disease. Malarial anemia appears to be multi-factorial.

Plasmodium falciparum, malaria, vivax, ovale, and knowlesi infect humans. The deadliest parasite is Plasmodium falciparum. Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of blood and salivary PCR among malaria patients and assess saliva as a Malaria diagnostic medium

Abstract:
Northeastern states of India share international borders with Myanmar, China, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, contributing 7.45% of the overall malaria cases in the country. Mizoram accounts for the highest malaria burden in the northeastern states, with perennial transmission in the hilly and deep-forested areas. Plasmodium falciparum (93%) is the most prevalent human Plasmodium species, followed by P. vivax; however, information on P. ovale and P. malariae is negligible. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are the most preferred malaria diagnostic tool followed by microscopy in this high malaria-endemic r

Abstract:&#x0D; Neonatal malaria is one of the differential diagnoses of sepsis in malaria endemic areas. Neonatal malaria is often ignored as it is considered to be uncommon. Transfusion acquired malaria is among the causes of neonatal malaria, as blood is rarely screened for malarial parasite. Here we present a unique case of neonatal malaria caused by exchange transfusion done for indirect hyperbillirubenemia in a G6PD deficient baby.

SUMMARYIn situations where malaria eradication is not an option in the foreseeable future the emphasis must be on the control of morbidity and mortality due to malaria. Under such circumstances drawing a distinction between malarial parasitization and malarial disease may be important for workers in both field and laboratory. This concept is explored from the points of view of the epidemiological picture of malaria in endemic populations, the factors which may influence progression to disease and the processes which mediate disease.

Malarial parasites can be diagnosed by examining blood smear under microscope, rapid diagnostic test (ICT), and by detecting nucleic acid of parasite using polymerase chain reaction. This study was conducted to find out the diagnostic accuracy of rapid diagnostic test (ICT) in association with microscopy as a gold standard for the detection of malarial parasites P.vivax, P. falciparum and the effect of parasitic load on both diagnostic methods - ICT and light microscopy.

With the development of continuous culture of the erythrocytic stages of the human malarial parasite,Plasmodium falciparumin 1976, the emphasis in research shifted away from knowlesi.

Using longitudinal data linked to the 1850 and 1860 U.S. federal census manuscript schedules, this article examines the effect of migration to high-risk malaria counties on real estate wealth accumulation. Although the migrants recognized the risk of malaria, they still migrated to malarial regions. Those who migrated to areas with higher risk of malaria experienced smaller increases in real estate wealth than migrants to less malarial areas. The findings in this study provide historical evidence with which to estimate the potential modern-day economic benefit of malarial eradication.
