Book Description
Each primate plasmodium, simian and human, contains a series of protein components, some of which are precipitinogens. Such plasmodia, like the fowl- and rodent-plasmodia, are capable of being analysed by methods of diffusion in gel and by disc electrophoresis. Harvesting procedures leading to such analysis should be rigidly standardized in order to permit comparison of results. Lyophilized harvests should be prepared in vacuo. Host cell contaminants require to be identified in all such analytical procedures, and have not yet been fully identified. Analysis of the human plasmodia is greatly hampered by the fact that few teams are available for collecting antigen in the field, and that no other source of a continuing and relatively abundant supply of hyman plasmodia is yet available. Aotus monkeys may conceivably fill this gap if breeding colonies were to be established. If such analysis is to be carried out at this time, it is therefore recommended that field teams capable of harvesting plasmodia by a standardized procedure be invited to do so, in order to make a continuing supply of antigen available.

Chimpanzees in Biomedical and Behavioral Research
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309220424
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
For many years, experiments using chimpanzees have been instrumental in advancing scientific knowledge and have led to new medicines to prevent life-threatening and debilitating diseases. However, recent advances in alternate research tools have rendered chimpanzees largely unnecessary as research subjects. The Institute of Medicine, in collaboration with the National Research Council, conducted an in-depth analysis of the scientific necessity for chimpanzees in NIH-funded biomedical and behavioral research. The committee concludes that while the chimpanzee has been a valuable animal model in the past, most current biomedical research use of chimpanzees is not necessary, though noted that it is impossible to predict whether research on emerging or new diseases may necessitate chimpanzees in the future.

Malaria
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 9780309045278
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Malaria is making a dramatic comeback in the world. The disease is the foremost health challenge in Africa south of the Sahara, and people traveling to malarious areas are at increased risk of malaria-related sickness and death. This book examines the prospects for bringing malaria under control, with specific recommendations for U.S. policy, directions for research and program funding, and appropriate roles for federal and international agencies and the medical and public health communities. The volume reports on the current status of malaria research, prevention, and control efforts worldwide. The authors present study results and commentary on the: Nature, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and epidemiology of malaria. Biology of the malaria parasite and its vector. Prospects for developing malaria vaccines and improved treatments. Economic, social, and behavioral factors in malaria control.

Parasitism
Author: Claude Combes
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226114465
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 743
Book Description
In Parasitism, Claude Combes explores the fascinating adaptations parasites have developed through their intimate interactions with their hosts. He begins with the biology of parasites—their life cycles, habitats, and different types of associations with their hosts. Next he discusses genetic interactions between hosts and parasites, and he ends with a section on the community ecology of parasites and their role in the evolution of their hosts. Throughout the book Combes enlivens his discussion with a wealth of concrete examples of host-parasite interactions.
