Brazil was the only Latin American country to be analyzed and this revealed a low incidence rate which was comparable to those in medium-risk Asian countries, with the majority of cases being due to P. vivax. Using different methodologies, studies have been conducted to establish malaria incidence rates among travelers of various nationalities. keywords: countries; data; malaria; risk; travelers cache: cord-006968-1gua1abq.txt plain text: cord-006968-1gua1abq.txt item: #2 of 63 id: cord-029965-bt87kai8 author: Patel, Shailesh Kumar title: The kidney and COVID-19 patients – important considerations date: 2020-08-01 words: 1053 flesch: 39 summary: key: cord-029965-bt87kai8 authors: Patel, Shailesh Kumar; Singh, Rohit; Rana, Jigyasa; Tiwari, Ruchi; Natesan, Senthilkumar; Harapan, Harapan; Arteaga-Livias, Kovy; Bonilla-Aldana, D.
