Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Overview of Malaria ControlEmmanuel Chanda, Mulakwa Kamuliwo, Richard W. Steketee et al.Malaria remains a serious global public health problem and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in sub Saharan Africa. In Zambia the disease is endemic with stable transmission, accounting for 40% of all out-patient attendances and is responsible for 20% deaths among children under five. Scaling up of scientifically proven high impact preventive, curative and supportive interventions and deploying … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Apr 2013 · 7,960 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn silico and in vitro Structural Analysis on the Interaction of Calmodulin and Calmodulin-Binding Motif of FKBP35 from Plasmodium knowlesiSazlinawatie Aladin, Cahyo Budiman et al.FK506-binding protein 35 (FKBP35) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase found in Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic malaria parasite responsible for concerning cases of malaria infection in East Malaysia. This protein contains a segment known as the calmodulin-binding motif (Pk-CBM), which is predicted to facilitate interaction with calmodulin from P. knowlesi (Pk-CaM). Although this interaction is considered promising for future antimalarial drug … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 10 Mar 2025 · 4,846 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of GA3 and Shading on the Growth and Content of Artemisinin Compound in Leaf of Artemisia (Artemisia annua L.) Grown on the Medium Land of Karanganyar, IndonesiaYuni Kusumodewi, Usman Siswanto, Samanhudi, Ahmad YunusMalaria is still becomes a concern for the government of Indonesia, since this disease has affected many people. Artemisia annua L. is an aromatic plant that destroys malarial parasites, lowers fever and of which the secondary metabolite is artemisinin. Enhanced production of the artemisinin content in the whole plant is desirable. This experiment was conducted in Karanganyar, Indonesia 900m asl. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 1 Nov 2017 · 8,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPlasmodium Pre-Erythrocytic Stages: Biology, Whole Parasite Vaccines and Transgenic ModelsKota Arun Kumar, Satish MishraMalaria remains one of the world’s worst health problems, which causes 216 million new cases and approximately 655,000 deaths every year WHO World Malaria Report, 2011. Malaria transmission to the mammalian host is initiated through a mosquito bite that delivers sporozoites into the vertebrate host. The injected sporozoites are selectively targeted to liver which is the first obligatory step in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2012 · 8,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStimulatory Effects of Dihydroartemisinin on the Leucocyte Population of Wistar Albino RatsU. A. Utoh-Nedosa, P. A. Akah, C. O. Okoli et al.Problem statement: Five dosages of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) which included 1 mg kg-1; a repeated dose of 1; 2; 60 and 80 mg kg-1 were administered orally to albino rats for 5 days. The results of the study showed that dihydroartemisinin treatment significantly elevated the total white cell count (p<0.01); the percentage neutrophil count (p<0.01) and the percentage lymphocyte count (p<0.05). … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2011 · 7,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRespiratory Tract-Widening Effects of Dihydroartemisinin in Wistar Albino RatsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu, Njoku Goddy, S. Nedosa Kenechi et al.Problem statement: Artemisinin-based anti-malarials are currently widely used in Asia and Africa. Not much is known about the systemic effect of dihydroartemisinin. This study therefore examine the effect of dihydroartemisinin on the lungs of Wistar albino rats. Approach: Five dosages of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) were administered by oral intubation for 5 days to 5 test and 4 control Wistar albino rats. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2011 · 7,515 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination of Optimum Values of Descriptors to Set Filters for Synthetic Tri-Pyrrole Derivatives (Prodiginines) Against Multi Drug Resistant Strain of Plasmodium FalciparumVijay H. Masand, Devidas T. Mahajan, Eslam Pourbasheer et al.In the present study, we have carried out extensive non-linear Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) analysis to correlate in vitro anti-malarial activity against multi drug resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum. Forty-three synthetic prodiginines with different structural features were used for their potential antimalarial activity. Linear, bilinear, biexponential and parabolic equations were developed. These equations were compared to determine the optimum values … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2015 · 14,141 accessesView PDFCite
