Article Synopsis
- P. falciparum is a major health concern, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing to 99% of malaria infections, with symptoms ranging from asymptomatic to severe based on various factors like host immunity and genetic diversity.
- A study conducted on 225 malaria patients in Uganda utilized seven microsatellite markers to analyze the genetic diversity and multiplicity of infection (MOI) in P. falciparum infections among asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals.
- Results showed high genetic diversity in both groups, with no significant difference in MOI, indicating a prevalence of polyclonal infections, and notable linkage disequilibrium between different infection types, while genetic differentiation among parasite populations was low.
Consumption of fruits and vegetables is correlated with improved mental wellbeing. Although this growing body of research has been recognized by researchers and clinicians in high-income countries, fewer studies examining this relationship have been conducted in low- and middle-income settings. In this study, we sought to estimate the association between fruit and vegetable intake and symptoms of depression and anxiety.
