Biology and bionomics of malaria vectors in India: existing information and what more needs to be known for strategizing elimination of malaria.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The diagnosis of malaria can be difficult in non-endemic areas, such as the United States, and delays in diagnosis and errors in treatment occur too often. METHODS:A nationwide survey of laboratories in the United States and its nine dependent territories was conducted in 2010 to determine factors that may ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein-1 (PfEMP1) antigens play a critical role in host immune evasion. Serologic responses to these antigens have been associated with protection from clinical malaria, suggesting that antibodies to PfEMP1 antigens may contribute to natural immunity. The first N-t...
