Abstract Background Although insecticide-treated bed nets are effective tools, use often does not follow ownership. House structure and space arrangements may make the attempt to difficult, especially for school age children. The objectives of this study were explore whether an individual's sleeping house affect net in villages along Lake Victoria western Kenya. Methods Sleeping residents directly observed a net, bed, location. size, number types rooms, availability, residents' ages...
Mass insecticide treated bed net (ITN) deployment, and its associated coverage of populations at risk, had "pushed" a decline in malaria transmission. However, it is unknown whether control being enhanced by zooprophylaxis, i.e., mosquitoes diverted to feed on hosts different from humans, phenomenon that could further reduce entomological transmission risk areas where livestock herding common. Between May July 2009, we collected 104 houses three neighboring villages with high ITN (over 80%),...
Background Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is a group of bacterial pathogens that causes life-threatening diarrhea in children developing countries. However, there limited information on the characteristics DEC isolated from patients these A detailed genomic analysis 61 DEC-like isolates infants with was performed to clarify and share prevalent Vietnam. Principal findings classified into 57 strains, including 33 enteroaggregative E . (EAEC) (54.1%), 20 enteropathogenic (EPEC) (32.8%),...
Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased globally; with a disproportionate burden in South and Southeast Asian countries, including Nepal. There is an urgent need for clinically cost-effective culturally adapted T2DM management programs. In this study, we aim to assess the effectiveness of community based appropriate lifestyle intervention improving care people T2DM. Methods We will conduct cluster randomized control trial evaluate outcomes. The be conducted 30...
Many arboviral outbreaks have occurred in various locations Kenya. Entomological surveys are suitable methods for revealing information about circulating arboviruses before human recognized. Therefore, mosquitoes were collected Kenya to determine the distribution of arboviruses. Various species sampled from January July 2012 using several collection methods. Mosquito homogenates directly tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) arbovirus-targeted primer pairs. We...
Giardia spp. is detected frequently in humans and animals. Although many studies have been conducted on the epidemiology of giardiasis, there a scarcity information genetic diversity dynamics transmission Vietnam. The zoonotic potential remains elusive. objective this study was to determine both livestock assess existence route infection between humans. Our goal role animals play human northern In Hien Khanh commune Vietnam, 311 households with 1508 residents were randomly selected for...
Abstract The mosquito Aedes aegypti (L.) is the primary vector of various infectious viruses and typified by a polymorphic color abundance white scales on body. It has been conventionally separated into two subspecies, Ae. aeg. formosus (Walker) (Aaf) (Aaa), with Aaf considered ‘sylvan’ form Aaa ‘domestic’ form. Because subspecies show different susceptibilities to dengue it important understand their distribution. In this study, we collected larvae from artificial natural habitats in...
Background Nepal, in recent years, is witnessing an increasing problem of type 2 diabetes that has resulted significant premature deaths and disability. Prevention management non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including have been prioritized the national policies guidelines Nepal Government. However, research looking at overview implementation existing for prevention control scarce. Hence, this study reviewed related its process primary health care level Nepal. Methods This involved two...
In Vietnam, data on the risk factors for diarrhea at community level remain sparse. This study aimed to provide an overview of diarrheal diseases in agricultural targeting all age groups. Specifically, we investigated incidence disease and described potential associated with diseases. this prospective cohort study, a total 1508 residents were enrolled during 54-week period northern Vietnam. The observed per person-year was 0.51 episodes. For children aged <5 years, 0.81 Unexpectedly,...
Vibrio cholerae O1 causes cholera, and cholera toxin, the principal mediator of massive diarrhea, is encoded by ctxAB in toxin (CTX) prophage. In this study, structures CTX prophage region V. strains isolated during seventh pandemic wave 1 Asian countries were determined compared. Eighteen categorized into eight groups region-specific restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR profiles structure a representative strain from each group was DNA sequencing. Eight revealed distinct regions...
Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor, the pathogen responsible for current cholera pandemic, became pathogenic by acquiring virulent factors including seventh pandemic islands (VSP)-I and -II. Diversity of VSP-II is well recognized; however, studies addressing attachment sequence left (attL) sequences are few. In this report, a wide variety V. strains were analyzed structure distribution in relation to their sequences. Of 188 analyzed, 81% (153/188) carried VSP-II; these, typical VSP-II, short variant...
