37. Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii (Diptera: Culicidae) em área peridomiciliar durante transmissão de malária assintomática na Mata Atlântica: identificação molecular das fontes de repasto sanguíneo indica humanos como hospedeiros intermediários primários
Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii é o vetor primário das malárias humana e simiana fora da Amazônia Brasileira e especificamente nas regiões de Mata Atlântica. A presença de casos humanos assintomáticos, macacos silvestres positivos para Plasmodium e a similaridade entre os parasitas que os infectam suportam a discussão se essas infecções podem ser con

38. Influence of age on the haemoglobin concentration of malaria-infected patients in a reference centre in the Brazilian Amazon
Anaemia is amongst the major complications of malaria, a major public health problem in the Amazon Region in Latin America. We examined the haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations of malaria-infected patients and compared it to that of malaria-negative febrile patients and afebrile controls. The haematological parameters of febrile patients who had a thick-blood-sme

39. G6PD deficiency in Latin America: systematic review on prevalence and variants
Plasmodium vivax radical cure requires the use of primaquine (PQ), a drug that induces haemolysis in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient (G6PDd) individuals, which further hampers malaria control efforts. The aim of this work was to study the G6PDd prevalence and variants in Latin America (LA) and the Caribbean region. A systematic search of the pub

40. Slow clearance of Plasmodium vivax with chloroquine amongst children younger than six months of age in the Brazilian Amazon
Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread parasite causing malaria, being especially prevalent in the Americas and Southeast Asia. Children are one of the most affected populations, especially in highly endemic areas. However, there are few studies evaluating the therapeutic response of infants with vivax malaria. This study retrospectively evaluated the paras

41. Plasmodium simium/Plasmodium vivax infections in southern brown howler monkeys from the Atlantic Forest
Blood infection by the simian parasite, Plasmodium simium, was identified in captive (n = 45, 4.4%) and in wild Alouatta clamitans monkeys (n = 20, 35%) from the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil. A single malaria infection was symptomatic and the monkey presented clinical and haematological alterations. A high frequency of Plasmodium vivax-specific antibod

42. Emerging Plasmodium vivax resistance to chloroquine in South America: an overview
The global emergence of Plasmodium vivax strains resistant to chloroquine (CQ) since the late 1980s is complicating the current international efforts for malaria control and elimination. Furthermore, CQ-resistant vivax malaria has already reached an alarming prevalence in Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea. More recently, in vivo studies have documen

43. The Duffy binding protein as a key target for a Plasmodium vivax vaccine: lessons from the Brazilian Amazon
Plasmodium vivax infects human erythrocytes through a major pathway that requires interaction between an apical parasite protein, the Duffy binding protein (PvDBP) and its receptor on reticulocytes, the Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC). The importance of the interaction between PvDBP (region II, DBPII) and DARC to P. vivax infection has motivated

44. Malaria in Brazil: what happens outside the Amazonian endemic region
Brazil, a country of continental proportions, presents three profiles of malaria transmission. The first and most important numerically, occurs inside the Amazon. The Amazon accounts for approximately 60% of the nation’s territory and approximately 13% of the Brazilian population. This region hosts 99.5% of the nation’s malaria cases, which are predomina

45. Plasmodium vivax malaria elimination: should innovative ideas from the past be revisited?
In the 1950s, the strategy of adding chloroquine to food salt as a prophylaxis against malaria was considered to be a successful tool. However, with the development of Plasmodium resistance in the Brazilian Amazon, this control strategy was abandoned. More than 50 years later, asexual stage resistance can be avoided by screening for antimalarial drugs that h

47. Platelet profile is associated with clinical complications in patients with vivax and falciparum malaria in Colombia
Introduction Thrombocytopenia is a common complication in malaria patients. The relationship between abnormal platelet profile and clinical status in malaria patients is unclear. In low and unstable endemic regions where vivax malaria predominates, the hematologic profiles of malaria patients and their clinical utility are poorly understood. The aim of this
