Talk:Plasmodium falciparum

message: There's too much general info here. Malaria has its own article for a general overview on plasmodium and its diseases.  This article would be improved by concentrating on Plasmodium falciparum's peculiar qualities.  There is some good general information on malaria here that doesn't appear in the Malaria article, so both articles could use a re-edit.  Janeky (talk) 05:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The Kingdom Protista was never a real taxon in evolutionary nature. It was a "taxonomic wastebin" for organisms in the Domain Eukarya that, until recently, could not be definitively classified at Kingdom level. Genetic analysis has corrected this problem, and the Kingdom Protista has been discarded. Several true Kingdoms (monophyletic or even paraphyletic, but at least not polyphyletic) have been recognized for such organisms, including the Kingdom Chromoveolata, to which this species belongs. -The Mysterious El Willstro 209.183.183.4 (talk) 16:24, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The infection figures for falciparum malaria seem inaccurate. According to the stated numbers, falciparum is responsible for 91% of infections and 90% of deaths. This would seem to indicate that it is less fatal than other strains accounting for the reduced mortality rate (90%) when compared with the population rate (91%). In fact, falciparum, as stated in the article, is far more deadly that vivax. I suggest that the figure of 91% is off. 173.3.112.55 (talk) 01:24, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Confirmed. Note the CDC ([]), which states Vivax is the predominant form, both in Asia and overall. I suggest this be changed immediately-173.3.112.55 (talk) 19:16, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Clearly there are contradictions in the infection figures in the introductory paragraph.  First it says that P. falciparum is 91% of all infections, 98% in Africa.  Then it says it is most prevalent in Africa where is accounts for a lower 75% of all infections.  Then it says that other Plasmodial species predominate elsewhere - clearly at odds with the orignal 91% figure.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.177.1.211 (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The epidemiological aspect does not answer my question as to what happens to those plus 5 in age.  Are they immune, selected survivors (ie resistant genetically), or what explains the low frequency (15%) of adult infection (or was that mortality per cent??)Idealist707 (talk) 17:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
