Genetic characterization of Plasmodium SPP and putative antimalarial drug resistant markers in the Central Region of Ghana

Dakorah, Mavis Puopelle (University of Cape Coast, 2023-02)

BACKGROUND: Malaria eradication is hampered by the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum, antimalarial resistance, and eco-geographical distinctions. The Central Region of Ghana harbours different ecological ...
Identification of the Vector and Leishmania Species in Endemic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Communities in the Ho Municipality

Doe, Edna Dzifa (University of Cape Coast, 2020-10)

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic neglected tropical disease which is caused by protozoan parasites. These parasites are transmitted by the bite of infected female sand flies (vectors) that feed on blood. Monitoring of these ...
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Sulphadoxine Pyrimethamine as Intermittent Preventive Treatment For Malaria In Pregnancy In Selected Health Facilities In Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana

Afutu, Leslie Larry (University of Cape Coast, 2018-07)

Malaria in pregnancy still remains a huge public health problem in most parts of Africa and Asia-Pacific. The use of Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine as intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in pregnancy (SP -IPTp) in ...
Host and parasite genetic factors that affect plasmodium falciparum gametocytogenesis and malaria transmission in southern Ghana

Ayanful-Torgby, Ruth (University of Cape Coast, 2018-09)

Several factors affect gametocyte production and are proposed to vary in different endemic settings and seasons. The current study assessed gametocyte production rates in P. Falciparum isolates from malaria patients in ex ...
High Prevalence of Plasmodium Falciparum Drug Resistance Markers in Ghana, An Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapy (Act) Setting

Afoakwah, Richmond (University of Cape Coast, 2013-05)

Resistance to the artemisinins has been reported in less than a decade after their global deployment. The molecular markers for artemisinin resistance, however, have not been clearly characterized. The aim of this study ...
Pharmacological evaluation of extract and isolated compounds from the root bark of Ziziphus Abyssinica Hochst ex. A rich (Rhamnaceae)

Henneh, Isaac Tabiri (University of Cape Coast, 2019-09)

The diversity offered by natural products has timelessly positioned it as a good source for novel therapeutics for the management of various medical conditions, including pain and CNS disorders. This study evaluated ...
Effects of falciparum malaria on levels of selected biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in type 2 diabetics and non-diabetic controls

Acquah, Samuel (University of Cape Coast, 2013-11)

Falciparum malaria and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affect millions of people globally but the effect of the dual conditions on the cardiovascular health of the affected has not been investigated. To better understand this, a ...
