Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers identified unique DNA sequences and protein diversity in samples with intact pfhrp2 genes, pointing to distinct amino acid repeat motifs compared to standard samples.
  • * The effectiveness of mass screening and treatment interventions, alongside additional measures like bed net distribution, was shown to significantly lower the risk of infection for both pfhrp2 deleted and intact P. falciparum parasites, emphasizing the need for new diagnostic methods for malaria elimination efforts by 2030.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study introduces the Intelligent Suite, a software designed to automate the detection of malaria pathogens in blood smear microscope images, aiming to alleviate the shortage of expert microscopists in remote areas.
  • - It features a user-friendly graphical interface utilizing the 'cvui' library and integrates with OpenVINO for model optimization, allowing deployment on various inference devices.
  • - The Intelligent Suite employs a custom YOLO-mp-3l model, trained on the Darknet framework, to analyze thick smear images and provides functionalities for device selection, model parameter adjustments, and generating performance reports.

No specific or adjunctive therapies exist to treat cerebral malaria (CM) as of date. CM is a neuropathological manifestation of the malaria infection in humans, caused by the hemoparasitic pathogen . Driven through a multitude of virulence factors, varied immune responses, variations in brain swelling with regard to the age of patients, parasite biomass, and parasite-typing, the essential pathogenetic mechanisms underlying clinical CM have remained elusive.

Background & Objectives: Available literature shows paucity of reports describing antibiotic and metal resistance profile of biofilm forming clinical isolates of Acinetobacter haemolyticus. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the antibiotic and metal resistance profile of Indian clinical isolate of A. haemolyticus MMC 8 isolated from human pus sample in planktonic and biofilm form.

Coexistence of thalassemia, hemoglobinopathies and malaria has interested geneticists over many decades. The present study represents such a population from the eastern Indian state of Orissa. Children and their siblings (n=38) were genotyped for β-thalassemia mutations and genotype-phenotype correlation was determined.
