Item The use of impregnated curtains does not affect antibody responses against Plasmodium falciparum and complexity of infecting parasite populations in children from Burkina Faso(Elsevier, 2004-05-31) A Bolad, I Nebie; F Esposito, Klavs BerzinsIn Burkina Faso, where malaria is hyper-endemic and transmission intensity is very high, the majority of malaria-related morbidity and mortality occurs in children less than 5 years of age. A control measure such as the use of insecticide-treated curtains (ITC) significantly reduces transmission of malaria infection. Concerns remain whether reduced transmission intensity may lead to a delay in the development of immunity in younger children and even to a partial loss of already acquired immunity. In this study, the levels of P. falciparum- ...Item Antibody-mediated in vitro growth inhibition of field isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from asymptomatic children in Burkina Faso(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2003-06-01) Ahmed BoladAntibody-mediated inhibition of Plasmodium falciparum parasites in vitro reflects the potential parasite-neutralizing activity of the antibodies in vivo. In this study, immunoglobulins and P. falciparum isolates were collected from children with asymptomatic malaria in Burkina Faso. We demonstrate a significantly lower in vitro growth inhibitory activity against the P. falciparum field isolates by autologous host immunoglobulin compared with that of immunoglobulin from other individuals. To gain further insight to possible ...
