Significant associations of MOI with allelic richness (rho = 0.69, P [...] P = 0.009) and expected heterozygosity (rho = 0.87, P < 0.001) were observed for P. falciparum Conversely, genetic diversity was not correlated with polyclonality nor mean MOI for P. vivax The results

Regression analyses yielded significant increase in average CIMT (mm) in weekly smokers (0.025, 95% CI 0.006; 0.045), per cigarette/day (0.003 [...] 003, 95% CI 0.001; 0.005) and serum cotinine level (0.008/100 ?g/l, 95% CI 0.002; 0.015), which remained consistent after adjusting for parental confounders. CONCLUSION: Our study yields evidence of an early
