Abstract:
This case report presents a perplexing case of Plasmodium malariae breakthrough infection despite prophylaxis with appropriate antimalarial prophylactic regimen of mefloquine in a compliant patient. A 78-year-old missionary who travels each year to the African subcontinent for multiple weeks to months, over 25 years, adheres to stringent antimalarial prophylaxis with Mefloquine as prescribed, starting prior to the trip and continuing after the return to the U.S.A. She gave no prior history of malaria during her 25 years of travel to Africa and back. Since she had no prior history of malaria and due to her excellent compliance with antimalarial regiment, despite her presentation which were suggestive of malaria, neither the patient nor her providers recognized the onset of malaria in this case. Infectious diseases physicians approached this case with an open mind, investigated appropriately, requested appropriate tests, found the presence of malarial parasite, identified as P. malariae species thereafter. She was started on antimalarial treatment in a timely fashion and showed an excellent response. This intriguing recovery of malarial parasite and response to treatment despite the patient being on antimalarial prophylaxis raised the possibility of mefloquine failure as an antimalarial prophylactic agent against P. malariae species.

Abstract:
Abstract Malaria is a major world health problem. It results from infection of parasites belonging to the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax cause the major human malarias, with P falciparum being the more virulent. During their blood stages of infection, both P falciparum and P vivax induce anemia. Severe malarial anemia caused by P falciparum is responsible for approximately a third of the deaths associated with disease. Malarial anemia appears to be multi-factorial. It involves increased removal of circulating erythrocytes as well as decreased production of erythrocytes in the bone marrow. The molecular mechanisms underlying malarial anemia are largely unknown. Over the last five years, malaria parasite ligands have been investigated for their remodeling of erythrocytes and possible roles in destruction of mature erythrocytes. Polymorphisms in cytokines have been associated with susceptibility to severe malarial anemia: these cytokines and malaria “toxins” likely function by perturbing erythropoiesis. Finally a number of co-infections increase susceptibility to malarial anemia, likely because they exacerbate inflammation caused by malaria. Because of the complexities involved, the study of severe malarial anemia may need a “systems approach” to yield comprehensive understanding of defects in both erythropoiesis and immunity associated with disease. New and emerging tools such as (i) mathematical modeling of the dynamics of host control of malarial infection, (ii) ex vivo perfusion of human spleen to measure both infected and uninfected erythrocyte retention, and (iii) in vitro development of erythroid progenitors to dissect responsiveness to cytokine imbalance or malaria toxins, may be especially useful to develop integrated mechanistic insights and therapies to control this major and fatal disease pathology.

Abstract:
Background: Malaria remains a significant health threat globally, with Plasmodium falciparum being the predominant and lethal parasite in Africa. Nigeria is still faced with ongoing cases of asymptomatic malaria, hindering effective control measures. Aim: The aim was to generate epidemiological data that will provide good background and guide strategies for driving malaria control efforts, research, and resource allocation in the region. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, where the samples were originally collected within about 16 months between October 2019 and January 2021. Methodology: A cross-sectional molecular epidemiological study was conducted using 136 microscopically screened 2 plus (++) and above positive malarial whole blood samples obtained in EDTA bottles from two hospitals in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. The DNA extraction was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions using Zymo Research extraction kits. Plasmodium genus and Plasmodium falciparum were detected in the samples using the PCR method and gel electrophoresis. Results: In the results, using PCR techniques, 47.8% (65/136) of the total malaria-positive samples collected were confirmed for the presence of the Plasmodium genus. Out of these 65 positive samples, 63 were found to be Plasmodium falciparum. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that Plasmodium falciparum remains the predominant malaria species in Jos, Plateau State, comprising approximately 96.9% (63/65) of the malarial cases. This indicates that only about 3% of malaria cases affecting the residents of Jos, Plateau State might be caused by the other four species of malaria parasites (Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium knowlesi).

Abstract:
ABSTRACTLymphocytes are implicated in immunity and pathogenesis of severe malaria. Since lymphocyte subsets vary with age, assessment of their contribution to different etiologies can be difficult. We immunophenotyped peripheral blood from Malawian children presenting with cerebral malaria, severe malarial anemia, and uncomplicated malaria (n= 113) and healthy aparasitemic children (n= 42) in Blantyre, Malawi, and investigated lymphocyte subset counts, activation, and memory status. Children with cerebral malaria were older than those with severe malarial anemia. We found panlymphopenia in children presenting with cerebral malaria (median lymphocyte count, 2,100/μl) and uncomplicated malaria (3,700/μl), which was corrected in convalescence and was absent in severe malarial anemia (5,950/μl). Median percentages of activated CD69+NK (73%) and γδ T (60%) cells were higher in cerebral malaria than in other malaria types. Median ratios of memory to naive CD4+lymphocytes were higher in cerebral malaria than in uncomplicated malaria and low in severe malarial anemia. The polarized lymphocyte subset profiles of different forms of severe malaria are independent of age. In conclusion, among Malawian children cerebral malaria is characterized by lymphocyte activation and increased memory cells, consistent with immune priming. In contrast, there are reduced memory cells and less activation in severe malaria anemia. Further studies are required to understand whether these immunological profiles indicate predisposition of some children to one or another form of severe malaria.

Abstract:
Background: Malaria continues to be a serious global public health and development issue. Plasmodium falciparum, the most lethal type of the malaria parasite, is responsible for the great majority of malaria-related death and morbidity in children. Aim: To ascertain malaria knowledge, attitudes, and practices among mothers of patients aged 5 to 15 in Bahawalgar District, Pakistan. Methods: The Cross sectional Descriptive study was done at District health quarter hospital Bahawalnagar. A questionnaire was used to collect the data from mothers of patients visiting medical OPD. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 25. Results: Findings of the study showed that a total of 241 malaria infected children were studied, to observe their plasmodium prevalence and their parental KAP of malaria. Most common age group of children was 13-15 years among 56.0%. Female’s children were commonest as 63.9%. Most of parents 46.1% were found with intermediate education. P-vivax was P-vivax was mostly seen among 66.4% children followed by p-falciparum 17.4%, p-malariae 3.3% and Plasmodium Vivax + falciparum 12.9%. The prevalence of plasmodiums was insignificantly related to demographic characteristics, with p-values that were relatively low. Conclusion: The study concluded that plasmodium vivax was the most prevalent malarial parasite. Parents had partial knowledge regarding malaria and its treatment. Parents had good attitude and agreed to participation in its prevention. Key words: Malaria, parents, knowledge, practice, children’s mothers

Abstract:
During the evolution of the genus Homo, with regard to species habilis, erectus and sapiens, malaria infection played a key biological role, influencing the anthropological development too. Plasmodia causing malaria developed two kinds of evolution, according to a biological and philogenetical point of view. In particular, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium ovale, would have either coevolved with human mankind (coevolution), or reached human species during the most ancient phases of genus Homo evolution. On the other hand, Plasmodium falciparum has been transmitted to humans by monkeys in a more recent period, probably between the end of Mesolithic and the beginning of Neolithic age. The authors show both direct and indirect biomolecular evidences of malaria infection, detected in buried subjects, dating to the Ancient World, and brought to light in the course of archeological excavations in some relevant Mediterranean sites. In this literature review the Authors organize present scientific evidences: these confirm the malarial role in affecting the evolution of populations in Mediterranean countries. The people living in several different regions on the Mediterranean Sea sides, the cradle of western civilization, have been progressively influenced by malaria, in the course of the spread of this endemic disease during the last millennia. In addition, populations affected by endemic malaria developed cultural, dietary and behaviour adaptations, contributing to decrease the risk of disease. These habits were not probably fully conscious. Nevertheless it may be thought that both these customs and biological modifications, caused by malarial plasmodia, favoured the emergence of groups of people with a greater resistance against malaria. All these considered factors decreased demographical impact, influencing in a favourable way the general development and growth of civilization.

Abstract:
Malaria is a potentially fatal disease which is caused by Plasmodium parasite. These parasites are transmitted to humans through the bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes which play the role of disease vector. Five types of plasmodium cause malaria named P. Falciparum, P. Vivax, P. Ovale, P. Knowlesi, and P. Malariae, Among the Plasmodium parasites, Falciparum and Vivax are particularly lethal to humans. Therefore, early detection of malaria is mandatory to avoid the loss of human life. Different automatic/semi-automatic malaria detection techniques are available in the literature, which reduces the chance of human errors in the prognosis of malaria. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have proven to be effective for object detection. Therefore, such methods have caught the attention of researchers to use for the detection of malarial parasites in human blood. In this paper, we proposed a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, which detects malarial parasites in microscopic images of human blood samples with high accuracy. The proposed model comprises 15 layers. It has 8 convolution layers with ReLu activation function, 4 max-pooling layers, 1 flattening layer, and 2 fully connected layers. The proposed method has been evaluated using various statistical measures against existing state-of-the-art methods. The quantitative measures show the effectiveness of the proposed model. It has a 97.42% testing accuracy, 97.42% sensitivity, 97.41% specificity, 97.70% precision, 97.42% recall , 97.97% F1-score , 97.41% Area Under Curve (AUC), and 94.82% Mathews correlation coefficient.

Abstract:
Background Estimation of malaria prevalence in very low transmission settings is difficult by even the most advanced diagnostic tests. Antibodies against malaria antigens provide an indicator of active or past exposure to these parasites. The prominent malaria species within Haiti is Plasmodium falciparum, but P. vivax and P. malariae infections are also known to be endemic. Methodology/Principal findings From 2014–2016, 28,681 Haitian children were enrolled in school-based serosurveys and were asked to provide a blood sample for detection of antibodies against multiple infectious diseases. IgG against the P. falciparum, P. vivax, and P. malariae merozoite surface protein 19kD subunit (MSP119) antigens was detected by a multiplex bead assay (MBA). A subset of samples was also tested for Plasmodium DNA by PCR assays, and for Plasmodium antigens by a multiplex antigen detection assay. Geospatial clustering of high seroprevalence areas for P. vivax and P. malariae antigens was assessed by both Ripley’s K-function and Kulldorff’s spatial scan statistic. Of 21,719 children enrolled in 680 schools in Haiti who provided samples to assay for IgG against PmMSP119, 278 (1.27%) were seropositive. Of 24,559 children enrolled in 788 schools providing samples for PvMSP119 serology, 113 (0.46%) were seropositive. Two significant clusters of seropositivity were identified throughout the country for P. malariae exposure, and two identified for P. vivax. No samples were found to be positive for Plasmodium DNA or antigens. Conclusions/Significance From school-based surveys conducted from 2014 to 2016, very few Haitian children had evidence of exposure to P. vivax or P. malariae, with no children testing positive for active infection. Spatial scan statistics identified non-overlapping areas of the country with higher seroprevalence for these two malarias. Serological data provides useful information of exposure to very low endemic malaria species in a population that is unlikely to present to clinics with symptomatic infections.

Abstract:
Background Diseases of the brain are difficult to study because this organ is relatively inaccessible. Only one part of the central nervous system is available to direct, non-invasive observation – the retina. The concept of the retina as a window to the brain has created much interest in the retina as a source of potential markers of brain disease. Paediatric cerebral malaria is a severe neurological complication of infection with the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which is responsible for death and disability in a significant number of children in sub-Saharan Africa. As with many neurological diseases, the precise mechanisms by which this infection causes damage to the brain remain unclear, and this hampers efforts to develop effective treatments. It may be that studying the retina in paediatric cerebral malaria could both illuminate pathogenesis specific to this disease, and also provide an illustration of how to approach retinal biomarkers in a new, and potentially more effective way. Methods I approached the aim of developing retinal features as markers of brain disease in paediatric cerebral malaria via several objectives. I made use of an existing clinical study to collect new retinal data from ophthalmoscopic examinations and fundus fluorescein angiograms from patients over three successive malaria seasons in Malawi, and added these to historical data obtained previously at the same site. I devised a new method for grading retinal images. I reviewed the biological plausibility of associations between retina and brain in cerebral malaria, and then considered analytical methods to interpret my retinal data effectively. Finally I estimated associations between retinal features, outcomes, and a radiological measure of brain swelling using combinations of regression models. Results My review of retinal and cerebral histopathology, vascular anatomy and physiology indicated that certain retinal and brain regions may be similarly prone to damage from sequestration as a result of interactions between aberrant rheology and microvascular geometry, such as branching patterns and arteriole to venule ratios. My review of evaluations of analogy and surrogacy suggested that biological similarities between retina and brain could be used to justify statistical evaluation of the amount of information the subject and object of the inference share about a common outcome, as used to assess surrogate end points for clinical trials. This kind of approach is able to address questions about whether a particular retinal feature is effectively equivalent to an analogous disease manifestation in the brain. I report analyses on three overlapping groups of subjects, all of whom had retinopathy positive cerebral malaria: children with admission ophthalmoscopy (n=817), children with admission fluorescein angiography (n=260), and children with admission angiography and MRI of the brain (n=134). Several retinal features are associated with death and longer time to recover consciousness in paediatric cerebral malaria. Broadly speaking, these features appear to reflect two processes: neurovascular sequestration (e.g. orange vessel discolouration and death), and neurovascular leakage (e.g. >5 sites of punctate leak and death). Respective adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for these particular associations are: 2.88 (1.64-5.05); and 6.90 (1.52-31.3). Other related processes may also be important, such as ischaemia, which can be extensive. Associations between retina and brain are less clear, in part because of selection bias in the samples. Conclusions Neurovascular leak is important in fatal paediatric cerebral malaria, suggesting that fatal brain swelling may occur primarily as a result of vasogenic oedema. Other processes are also likely to be involved, particularly neurovascular sequestration, which is visible on retinal imaging as orange vessels or intravascular filling defects. Sequestration may plausibly cause leak through direct damage to tight junctions and by increasing transmural pressure secondary to venous congestion. Several types of retinal leakage are seen and some of these may represent re-perfusion rather than acute injury. Future work to investigate temporal changes in retinal signs may find clearer associations with radiological and clinical outcomes. The steps taken to evaluate retinal markers in cerebral malaria illustrate a more rigorous approach to retinal biomarkers in general, which can be applied to other neurological diseases.

Abstract:
Malaria is a preventable and treatable blood-borne disease whose complications can be fatal. Although many interventions exist in order to reduce the impacts of malaria, the optimal method of distributing these interventions in a geographical area with limited resources must be determined. This thesis refines a model that uses an integer linear program and a compartmental model of epidemiology called an SIR model of ordinary differential equations. The objective of the model is to find an intervention strategy over multiple time steps and multiple geographic regions that minimizes the number of days people spend infected with malaria. In this paper, we refine the resolution of the model and conduct sensitivity analysis on its parameter values.

Abstract:
Background and Methods: Blood transfusion saves lives and improves health but the presence of transfusion transmissible infections can have untoward consequences. When undetected, these infections can cause significant morbidity and mortality to transfusion recipients. On the other hand, a high prevalence of transfusion-transmitted infections (TTI) leading to rejection of a large proportion of donated blood can result in blood shortages and subsequent increase in mortality. Malaria and bacterial infections are transfusion transmissible but there is limited data concerning these infections in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the burden of transfusion-transmitted malaria in malaria endemic countries are unknown, it is recommended that all donated blood is screened for malaria parasites and presumptive treatment be given to transfusion recipients. Bacterial contamination in sub-Saharan Africa has been reported to occur in between 8 - 17% of stored blood but the effect of contamination on transfusion recipients has not been determined. Syphilis is currently the only bacterial infection for which routine screening is recommended but screening is not being performed in many blood centres including Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ghana where this study took place. This study examined the effects of transfusion-transmitted malaria (TTM) and bacterial infections (including syphilis) on transfusion recipients in a malaria endemic area. Four malaria screening tests were compared to assess their usefulness in the context of African blood banks. Pregnant women, children and immune-compromised transfusion recipients from the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Medicine and Oncology in KATH were enrolled into the study. Results: Anti-malarial drugs were routinely prescribed with paediatric transfusions. Fifty patients were evaluated after receiving blood transfusions that were positive for P. falciparum by PCR and seven recipients developed PCR-detectable parasitaemia. In only one recipient (2%) was TTM confirmed. The prevalence of P. falciparum malaria in transfused blood was 4.7% (21/445) by microscopy, 13.7% (60/440) by rapid diagnostic test, 18% (78/436) by polymerase chain reaction and 22.2% (98/442) by enzyme immunoassay. Bacterial contamination was found in 11.5 %( 95% CI 7.0-16.0%) (23/200) of donated blood units but only half of the recipients were observed to developed adverse signs of transfusion related sepsis. The mean duration of storage of blood was 2 days. The prevalence of syphilis sero-positivity in donated blood was 8.0% (95% CI 4.3-11.7%). Seroconversion took place in an 8 year old girl, after receiving a syphilis sero-positive unit of blood. Conclusions: This thesis has shown that malaria parasites may be commonly detected in donor blood but TTM occurs infrequently in recipients living in malaria endemic areas. The high rate of bacterial contamination and its associated transfusion related sepsis poses a safety risk to transfusion recipients. Transfusion-transmitted syphilis remains a risk for transfusion recipients in blood centres with a high prevalence and short duration of storage of donor blood.

Abstract:
Malaria is an issue of global importance. This parasitic disease, which is transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, currently threatens 44% of the world’s population. In 2013, there were an estimated 198 million infections and over 580,000 deaths from malaria. Like many diseases, malaria is opportunistic, quickly feeding into the cycle of poverty and infecting the most vulnerable members of society who lack access to protection and car
