A Single Dose of Intramuscular Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine as an Adjunct to Quinine in the Treatment of Severe Malaria: Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy
(Oxford University Press, 4/1/1983)
It has been suggested that sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SDPM) may be useful in the treatment of severe malaria since it could enhance the killing of parasites by quinine (QN) and it can be given as a single intramuscular ...
In vitro culture of the strobilar stage of Echinococcus granulosus from protoscoleces of human, camel, cattle, sheep and goat origin from Kenya and buffalo origin from India
(Elsevier, 1985-04)
Protoscoleces from human, camel, cattle, sheep, goat (all from Kenya) and buffalo (from India) hydatid cysts were cultured under identical conditions in vitro using the diphasic culture system of Smyth (1979b). Organisms ...
A Comparative Study of Echinococcus granulosus from Human and Animal Hosts in Kenya Using Isoelectric Focusing and Isoenzyme Analysis
(12/1/1982)
The soluble enzyme extracts from protoscoleces obtained from hydatid cysts of human, camel, cattle, sheep and goat origin were compared on the basis of their isoenzyme patterns for GPI and PGM using isoelectric focusing. ...
The Identification of Eggs of Echinococcus by Immunofluorescence Using a Specific Anti-oncospheral Monoclonal antibody
(The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene, 1/1/1986)
A relatively simple and specific test has been developed to distinguish eggs of Echinococcus from those of other morphologically identical taeniid species. A specific anti-Echinococcus oncosphere monoclonal antibody was ...
Chlorproguanil/Dapsone for the Treatment of Non-severe Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria in Kenya: a pilot study
(Oxford University Press, 5/1/1988)
Chlorocycloguanil, the active metabolite of chlorproguanil, was synergistic in vitro with dapsone against 2 culture-adapted Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Kenya; maximal synergy occurred at lower concentrations that ...
Hydatid Disease in the Turkana District of Kenya. III. The Significance of Wild Animals in the Transmission of Echinococcus granulosus, with Particular Reference to Turkana and Masailand in Kenya
(Pathogens and Global Health - Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1983-03)
The results are given of a study on the role of wildlife in the transmission of Echinococcus granulosus in the Turkana and Narok Districts of Kenya. A total of 76 wild carnivores belonging to three separate species was ...
A Comparative Study of Echinococcus Granulos from Human and Animal Hosts in Kenya Using Isoelectric Focusing and Isoenzyme Analysis
(Australian Society for Parasitology, 1981-11-20)
A comparative s1udy of Echinococcus granulosus from human and animal hosts in Kenya using isoelectric: focusing and isoenzyme analysis.
International Journal for Parasitology 12: 515-521. The soluble enzyme extracts from ...
Amoebiasis - Entamoeba Histolytica Infections: A Review
(East African Medical Journal, 1986-01)
Many populations of Entamoeba histolytica, identified by enzyme electrophoresis,
are non-pathogenic, and as infections are frequently self limiting,
treatment of asymptomatic cyst' passers may often be unnecessary. ...
The True Disease Pattern in East Africa. Part 1
(East African Medical Journal Vol. 60 No. 7, 1982-07)
Generally, most disease episodes are of short du ration and cause little disability. They are mainly
subject to self-<:are and rarely appear in routine reporting systems. In East Africa, however, even
serious diseases ...
Hydatid disease in the Turkana district of Kenya, IV. The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus infections in dogs, and observations on the role of the dog in the lifestyle of the Turkana.
(Liverpool of Tropical Medicine, 4/14/1983)
The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus in dogs in the Turkana District of Kenya was 39.4% of 695 examined. Of these, 98 (35.8%) had heavy Echinococcus worm burdens (10(3)-5 X 10(4) ), while 54 (19.7%) and 122 (44.5%) ...
