Abstract

Solid organ transplant recipients are particularly vulnerable for infectious diseases due to prolonged immunosuppressive treatment. Residents of endemic regions and travellers may be exposed to malaria and may, therefore, require prolonged antimalarial chemoprophylaxis. The hypothesis of this study was that certain immunosuppressive drugs may exert clinically relevant anti-malarial activity. It was therefore designed to assess the intrinsic anti-malarial activity of everolimus, mycophenolic acid, and rapamycin against Plasmodium falciparum in an in vitro model.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 December 2014.
All research outputs
#20,245,139
of 22,772,779 outputs
Outputs from Malaria Journal
#5,317
of 5,555 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#302,151
of 360,775 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Malaria Journal
#85
of 95 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,772,779 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,555 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 360,775 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 95 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
