Clinical, laboratorial and immunological aspects of severe malaria in children from Guinea-Bissau

  • Autores: Domingos J, Casimiro A, Portugal-Calisto D, Varandas L, Nogueira F, Silva MS
  • Ano de Publicação: 2018
  • Journal: Acta Tropica
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29684356

Malaria is a parasitic disease of which Plasmodium falciparum causes the most severe form of the disease. The immune response against Plasmodium spp. is complex and remains unclear. The present report aimed to better understand the humoral immune response in severe malaria and analyse new immunodominant antigen candidates as possible serological marker in severe malaria […]

SLC40A1 Q248H allele frequencies and associated SLC40A1 haplotypes in three West African population samples.

  • Autores: Albuquerque D, Alvarez M, Arez AP, Lopes D, Loua KM, Manco L, Millimono TS, Nogueira F, Rath SL, Relvas L, Ribeiro ML, Trovoada Mde J, Varandas L
  • Journal: Annals of human biology

BACKGROUND:
Ferroportin is a transmembrane protein responsible for iron export from enterocytes and macrophages. Mutation c.744G → T (Q248H), located in exon 6 of the ferroportin gene SLC40A1, is found as a polymorphism in populations of African origin. This mutation has been extensively analysed in African-Americans, but poorly studied in native African populations.

Prevalence and risk factors of Plasmodium falciparum infections in pregnant women of Luanda, Angola.

  • Autores: Campos PA, Valente B, Varandas L, Do Rosário VE, Silveira H
  • Journal: Tropical Medicine & International Health
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21729222

Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria, but in Angola, epidemiologic data from this group is almost inexistent. We conducted a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence and risk factors of Plasmodium falciparum infections in 567 pregnant Angolan women living in Luanda province.
