Japanese encephalitis (JE), a vector-borne viral disease, is endemic to large parts of Asia and the Pacific. An estimated 3 billion people are at risk, JE has recently spread new territories. Vaccination programs, increased living standards, mechanization agriculture key factors in decline incidence this disease Japan South Korea. However, transmission likely increase Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan because population growth, intensified rice farming,...
SUMMARY In May 2001, the World Health Assembly (WHA) passed a resolution which urged member states to attain, by 2010, minimum target of regularly administering anthelminthic drugs at least 75% and up 100% all school-aged children risk morbidity. The refined global strategy for prevention control schistosomiasis soil-transmitted helminthiasis was issued in following year large-scale administration endorsed as central feature. This has subsequently been termed ‘preventive chemotherapy’....
Background Soil-transmitted helminth infections are common throughout the tropics and subtropics they disproportionately affect poorest of poor. In view a growing global commitment to control soil-transmitted helminthiasis, there is need elucidate effect repeated stool sampling use different diagnostic methods in areas targeted for preventive chemotherapy that characterized by low-infection intensities. this study, we focused on schoolchildren Unguja Island, Zanzibar, an area where...
Appraisal of the present and future impact climate change variability on transmission infectious diseases is a complex but pressing public health issue. We developed biology-driven model to assess potential rising temperature schistosomiasis in China. found threshold 15.4 degrees C for development Schistosoma japonicum within intermediate host snail (i.e., Oncomelania hupensis), 5.8 at which half sample investigated was hibernation. Historical data suggest that occurrence O. hupensis...
Background Infections with schistosomes and soil-transmitted helminths exert a considerable yet underappreciated economic public health burden on afflicted populations. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for patient management, drug efficacy evaluations, monitoring of large-scale community-based control programs. Methods/Principal Findings The diagnostic accuracy four copromicroscopic techniques (i.e., Kato-Katz, Koga agar plate, ether-concentration, FLOTAC) the detection Schistosoma mansoni...
