13. Epidemiology and control of malaria in Colombia
Malaria is currently one of the most serious public health problems in Colombia with an endemic/epidemic transmission pattern that has maintained endemic levels and an average of 105,000 annual clinical cases being reported over the last five years. Plasmodium vivax accounts for approximately 70% of reported cases with the remainder attributed almost exclusi

14. Analysis of the genetic variability of PvMSP-3α among Plasmodium vivax in Brazilian field isolates
Reliable molecular markers are essential for a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax, which is a neglected human malaria parasite. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of P. vivax isolates from the Brazilian Amazon using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analys

15. Susceptibility of Biomphalaria straminea from Peixe Angical dam, Tocantins, Brazil to infection with three strains of Schistosoma mansoni
Environmental changes from water resource developmental projects affect the epidemiology of water-associated diseases, as well as malaria and schistosomiasis. Aiming to investigate the occurrence and distribution of freshwater snails of medical and veterinary importance in the area of influence of the Peixe Angical hydroelectric dam, a survey has been conduc

16. Desenvolvimento e validação de ferramentas moleculares para análise da resposta imune de primatas Aotus e Saimiri / Development and validation of molecular tools to analyze the immune response in the Aotus and Saimiri neotropical primates
Os primatas neotropicais Aotus e Saimiri são os modelos recomendados pela OMS para estudos experimentais usando parasitas da malária humana. No entanto, existe uma carência de ferramentas específicas para estudar a resposta imune desses primatas durante o curso de infecção. A PCR quantitativa em tempo real (PCR-TRq) permite avaliar a expressão gênica

17. Malária autóctone notificada no Estado de São Paulo: aspectos clínicos e epidemiológicos, de 1980 a 2007 / Reported autochthonous malaria in São Paulo: clinical and epidemiological description, from 1980 to 2007
Introduction: Autochthonous malaria in São Paulo State is characterized by sporadic outbreaks in the west region and by persistent transmission with oligoassymptomatic cases in the east region, with low parasitemia by Plasmodium vivax. Objectives: To assess the completeness of autochthonous malaria reporting forms; to estimate autochthonous malaria incidenc

18. Vulnerabilidade à Malaria no município de Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, Amazonas, Brasil. / Vulnerability the malaria in municipio of Santa Isabel of Rio Negro, Amazonas, Brazil.
The goal of this survey was to characterize vulnerability to malaria in the urban area of Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, a small city in Amazon, Brazil. This town has 4,200 inhabitants and is located in the Rio Negro basin. We carried out: i) the description of the secular and spatial distribution of the malaria cases which occurred during the years 2003 the 200

19. Nosology profile of riverine people from down Machado river in Rodônia / Western Amazon - Brazil. / Perfil nosológico da população ribeirinha do baixo rio Machado em Rondônia / Amazônia Ocidental - Brasil.
Foi estudado o perfil nosológico da população ribeirinha do Baixo Rio Machado em Rondônia, área de Amazônia Ocidental no Brasil. Neste estudo, escolhemos abordar o perfil das seguintes doenças: malária, hepatite viral B e C, parasitose intestinal e papilomavírus humano. Estas doenças foram priorizadas devido à importância clínica e epidemiológi

21. Genetic epidemiology of malaria infection at Rondônia. / Genética epidemiológica de malária em Rondônia.
With the aim of investigate the genetic mechanisms related to the human response to malaria infection, two Amazonian populations were studied. About 180 individuals from Portuchuelo population and more than 800 individuals from Monte Negro were included in the sample. Those individuals where subjected to an epidemiological survey, followed by characterizatio

22. Características epidemiológicas da malária autóctone no estado do Tocantins, Brasil, 1998 a 2006
Definição do problema e justificativa: De 1996 a 2006, o Estado do Tocantins (TO) registrou, em média, 0,3% dos casos de malária da Região Amazônica, dos quais, 37% foram autóctones. O risco médio foi um caso por 1.000 hab. Apresenta ainda condições geográficas, climatológicas e ecológicas menos favoráveis à transmissão da malária, em relaç

23. Population structure of the malaria vector Anopheles darlingi in Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon, based on mitochondrial DNA
Anopheles darlingi is the most important Brazilian malaria vector, with a widespread distribution in the Amazon forest. Effective strategies for vector control could be better developed through knowledge of its genetic structure and gene flow among populations, to assess the vector diversity and competence in transmitting Plasmodium. The aim of this study wa

24. An ecoregional classification for the state of Roraima, Brazil: the importance of landscape in malaria biology
Understanding the different background landscapes in which malaria transmission occurs is fundamental to understanding malaria epidemiology and to designing effective local malaria control programs. Geology, geomorphology, vegetation, climate, land use, and anopheline distribution were used as a basis for an ecological classification of the state of Roraima,
