From June 1990 through July 1991, intracerebral infection with the larval stage of pork tapeworm Taenia solium was diagnosed in four unrelated persons an Orthodox Jewish community New York City. None patients had eaten pork, and only one traveled to a country which T. endemic. We investigated this outbreak, screened serum samples from family members household contacts for antibodies cysticercosis, examined stool specimens employees eggs taenia species.The recurrent seizures brain lesions...
In a Mexican village in which Taenia solium infection was known to be endemic, we selected cluster sample of 368 households (21% the total) for demographic, environmental, and diagnostic surveys, medical histories taeniasis cysticercosis. Coproparasitologic studies 1,531 participants revealed by sp. four (0.3%) individuals; however, 5.8% respondents reported history having passed tapeworm proglottids feces. Of 1,552 human serum specimens, 10.8% tested positive cysticercosis immunoblot assay....
A comprehensive study was undertaken in a rural community the state of Morelos, Mexico to evaluate health education as an intervention measure against Taenia solium. An educational program developed promote recognition and knowledge transmission parasite improve hygienic behavior sanitary conditions that foster transmission. The effects were evaluated by measuring changes practices prevalence human taeniasis swine cysticercosis before after campaign. strategy implemented with active...
The control groups in two phase 3 trials of dengue vaccine efficacy included large regional cohorts that were followed up for infection. These provided a sample epidemiologic analyses symptomatic children across 10 countries Southeast Asia and Latin America which is endemic.We monitored acute febrile illness virologically confirmed (VCD) 3424 healthy children, 2 to 16 years age, (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam) from June 2011 through December 2013 6939 9 18 (Brazil,...

BackgroundDengue is a notifiable infectious disease in many countries, but under-reporting of cases to National Epidemiological Surveillance Systems (NESSs) conceals the true extent burden. The incidence dengue identified cohort study was compared with those reported NESSs.MethodsA randomized, placebo-controlled undertaken Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, and Puerto Rico assess efficacy tetravalent vaccine (CYD-TDV) children aged 9–16 years. placebo group that NESSs similar age (10–19...
OBJECTIVES: Dengue cases range from asymptomatic to severe, eventually leading hospitalization and death.Timely appropriate management is critical reduce morbidity.Since 1980, dengue has spread throughout Brazil, affecting an increasing number of individuals.This paper describes age regional differences in dengue's clinical presentation associated risk based on more than 5 million reported the Brazilian Ministry Health 2000-2014.METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis B5,450,000...
Dengue is an escalating public health concern in Latin American Countries with a dramatic increase of cases reported during the past decade. The objectives this study were to identify and provide insights into current management attitudes toward dengue understand vaccination behaviors prevent Mexico Colombia.This was community-based, cross-sectional, descriptive conducted urban rural areas endemic non-endemic regions. interviews face-to-face using structured questionnaire containing 58...
Dengue is the most important arboviral disease in world. Seroprevalence has been proposed as a marker of endemicity, however, studies are scarce.We conducted cross-sectional, stratified cluster, random sample study to measure seroprevalence antibodies dengue virus (DENV) Mexico. The target population was school children ages 6-17 y from 22 endemic states Mexico, clustered four regions: Pacific, South-Central, Southeast and Low.A total 2134 subjects provided blood samples for immunoglobulin G...
Abstract The variability in the host immune response directed against dengue virus (DENV) has demonstrated need to understand associated with protection incident infection. objective was estimate association between serostatus and risk of DENV We used a prospective study from 2014 2016 localities Axochiapan Tepalcingo, Morelos, Mexico. recruited 966 participants, which, according their infection history registered were categorized four groups. To accomplish objectives this study, we selected...
There is no licenced vaccine against dengue, but several candidates are in development, one of which the final stages clinical evaluation [1]. Once a licensed, having appropriate surveillance system field will contribute to successful implementation vaccination programs by providing an accurate picture disease epidemiology help document impact vaccination. Gaps current data, dengue surveillance, and epidemiological research need be identified addressed now. Furthermore, view WHO 2020 targets...
Human neurocysticercosis is an important parasitic disease in developing countries. Most epidemiological studies on the have used antibody-based assays that allow detection of transmission ‘hot spots’ and identification main risk factors for transmission. However, such low predictive value active cases neurocysticercosis. The screening potential most commonly antibody-detection technique, electroimmunotransfer blot assay (EITB), has now been compared with antigen-capture assay, endemic...
