Betran Auvert and colleagues report findings from the Bophelo Pele project, a community-based HIV prevention intervention offering free voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), that demonstrate an association between VMMC roll-out reduction in incidence prevalence of community.

There have been few reports on programmatic experience of viral hepatitis testing and treatment in resource-limited settings. To inform the development 2017 World Health Organization (WHO) guidance particular feasibility proposed recommendations, we undertook a survey across range organisations engaged with low- middle-income countries (LMICs). Our objective was to describe current B C practices settings different countries, as well key barriers or challenges encountered solutions promote...
Background The association between placental malaria (PM) and first peripheral parasitaemias in early infancy was assessed Tori Bossito, a rural area of Benin with careful attention on transmission factors at an individual level. Methodology Statistical analysis performed 550 infants followed weekly from birth to 12 months. Malaria by anopheles human landing catches every 6 weeks 36 sampling houses season defined rainfall. Each child located GPS assigned the closest house. Data were analysed...
Abstract To determine the effect of maternal anaemia on pregnancy outcome and describe its impact infant haemoglobin level in first 18 months life, we conducted a prospective study 617 pregnant women their children Benin. Prevalence at delivery was 39.5%, 61.1% newborns were anaemic birth. Maternal not associated with low birth weight [OR = 1.2 (0.6–2.2)] or preterm 1.3 (0.7–2.4)], whereas newborn’s related to 1.8 (1.2–2.5)]. There no association between an infant’s until anaemia. However,...
Background. Several studies have shown that the risk of malaria infection increases for children born to a mother with placental infection. An immune tolerance phenomenon has been hypothesized. We addressed whether Plasmodium falciparum could additionally be associated nonmalaria fevers in infants. Methods. From 2007 2009, 553 infants were followed up from birth 18 months Benin. The occurrence fever was actively screened by trained community workers. Malaria (temperature >37.5°C positive...
In recent years various EU/EEA countries have experienced an influx of migrants from low and middle-income countries. 2018, the "Vaccine European New Integrated Collaboration Effort (VENICE)" survey group conducted a among 30 to investigate immunisation policies practices targeting irregular migrants, refugees asylum seekers (later called "migrants" in this report). Twenty-nine participated survey. Twenty-eight reported having national children/adolescent adult however vaccinations offered...
Abstract Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV), an enterically transmitted pathogen, is highly endemic in several African countries. Pregnant women are at particularly high risk for acute or severe hepatitis E. In Gabon, a central country, the prevalence of antibodies to HEV among pregnant 14.1%. Recent studies have demonstrated unusual patterns (chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis) immunodeficient patients. Findings We investigated infected with HIV-1 HTLV-1 Gabon. Of 243 samples collected, 183 were...
Background Although rabies represents an important public health threat, it is still a neglected disease in Asia and Africa where causes tens of thousands deaths annually despite available human animal vaccines. In the Central African Republic (CAR), endemic country for rabies, this remains poorly investigated. Methods To evaluate extent threat that poses CAR, we analyzed data 2012 from National Reference Laboratory Rabies, laboratory confirmation was performed by immunofluorescence PCR both...
Abstract Background Infection by hepatitis E virus (HEV) can cause a high burden of morbidity and mortality in countries with poor access to clean water sanitation. Our study aimed investigate the situation HEV infections Central African Republic (CAR). Methods A retrospective analysis blood samples notification forms collected through national yellow fever (YF) surveillance program, but for which diagnosis YF was discarded, carried out using an anti-HEV IgM ELISA HEV-specific RT-PCR....

During January 2007-July 2012, a total of 3,220 suspected yellow fever cases were reported in the Central African Republic; 55 confirmed and 11 case-patients died. Mean delay between onset jaundice case confirmation was 16.6 days. Delay disease blood collection could be reduced by increasing awareness population.
Objective: In 2012, 7 years after the introduction of antiretroviral treatment (ART) in South African township Orange Farm, we measured proportion HIV-positive people who were virally suppressed, especially among high-risk groups (women 18–29 and men 25–34 years). Design: A community-based cross-sectional representative survey was conducted 3293 3473 women. Methods: Study procedures included a face-to-face interview collection blood samples that tested for HIV, 11 drugs HIV-viral load....
To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with HIV five other STIs among outdoor female sex workers (OSFW) indoor FSW (IFSW). Methods Cross-sectional survey using respondent-driven sampling methodology. Participants answered a bio-behavioural questionnaire were tested for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), syphilis (lifetime contact) Mycoplasma genitalium (MG). Weighted 95% CIs calculated. multivariate logistic regression was performed...
Background We propose a new approach based on genetic distances among viral strains to infer about risk exposures and location of transmission at population level. Methods re-analysed 133 sequences obtained during cross-sectional survey 4020 subjects living in hepatitis C virus (HCV) endemic area 2002. A permutation test was used analyze the correlation between matrices NS5b region all pairwise combinations exposure status (jointly exposed or not) several potential HCV factors. Results...
The roll-out of medical male circumcision (MC) is progressing in Southern and Eastern Africa. Little known about the effect this on women. objective study was to assess knowledge perceptions women regarding MC a setting before after roll-out. This conducted South African township Orange Farm where prevalence among men increased from 17% 53% period 2008-2010. Data three community-based cross sectional surveys 2007, 2010 2012 1258, 1197 2583 adult women, respectively were studied. In 2012,...
