The 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5)-derived lipid mediators leukotrienes and lipoxins have regulatory functions in inflammation by modulating activities of immune cells and cytokine production. Recently, it...

Malaria incidence and efficacy of intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) (2007)

Kobbe, Robin, Adjei, Samuel, Kreuzberg, Christina, Kreuels, Benno, Thompson, Benedicta, Thompson, Peter A, ...

Abstract Background Intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment in infants (IPTi) is currently evaluated as a malaria control strategy. Among the factors influencing the extent of protection that...

Blinded, Externally Controlled Multicenter Evaluation of Light Microscopy and PCR for Detection of Microsporidia in Stool Specimens

Rinder, Heinz, Janitschke, Klaus, Aspöck, Horst, Da Silva, Alexandre J., Deplazes, Peter, Fedorko, Daniel P., ...

The quality parameters for the detection of microsporidia in identical sets of 50 stool samples were determined for six laboratories where technicians used light microscopy and for six laboratories...

Genotyping of Plasmodium falciparum Pyrimethamine Resistance by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

Marks, Florian, Meyer, Christian G., Sievertsen, Jürgen, Timmann, Christian, Evans, Jennifer, Horstmann, Rolf D., ...

Increasing resistance, recrudescences, and treatment failure have led to the replacement of chloroquine with the combination of pyrimethamine (PYR) and sulfadoxine (SDX) as the first-line...

High Prevalence of Markers for Sulfadoxine and Pyrimethamine Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum in the Absence of Drug Pressure in the Ashanti Region of Ghana
