DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02628-22
Abstract: Currently, molecular equipment has been introduced into many health care centers, even in low-income countries. PCR, qPCR, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) are becoming more accessible for the diagnosis of neglected infectious diseases. ABSTRACT Trypanosoma… read more here.

Clinical relevance of low-density Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia in untreated febrile children: A cohort study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS Medicine"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1003318
Abstract: Background Low-density (LD) Plasmodium infections are missed by standard malaria rapid diagnostic tests (standard mRDT) when the blood antigen concentration is below the detection threshold. The clinical impact of these LD infections is unknown. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0183840
Abstract: Background Plasmodium vivax malaria (Pv-malaria) is still considered a neglected disease despite an alarming number of individuals being infected annually. Malaria pathogenesis occurs with the onset of the vector-parasite-host interaction through the binding of pathogen-associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266441
Abstract: Malaria is often most endemic in remote regions where diagnostic microscopy services are unavailable. In such regions, the use of rapid diagnostic tests fails to quantify parasitemia measurements which reflect the concentration of Plasmodium parasites… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0271527
Abstract: Decreased platelet count is an early phenomenon in asexual Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia, but its association with acute or long-term functional changes in platelets and coagulation is unknown. Moreover, the impact of gametocytemia on platelets and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1009594
Abstract: PfSPZ-CVac combines ‘PfSPZ Challenge’, which consists of infectious Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZ), with concurrent antimalarial chemoprophylaxis. In a previously-published PfSPZ-CVac study, three doses of 5.12x104 PfSPZ-CVac given 28 days apart had 100% vaccine efficacy (VE)… read more here.
