Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, efficient vectors in parts of Asia and Africa, were found 75.3% water sources surveyed contributed to 80.9% wild-caught mosquitoes Awash Sebat Kilo, Ethiopia. High susceptibility these Plasmodium falciparum vivax infection presents a challenge for malaria control the Horn Africa.
The recent detection of the South Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia and other regions Horn Africa has raised concerns about its potential impact on transmission. We report here findings a survey for this species eastern using both morphological molecular methods identification.Adult larval/pupal collections were conducted at ten sites specimens identified standard keys genetic analysis.In total, 2231 morphologically An. collected. A approach incorporating PCR endpoint...
Abstract Background The recent detection of the South Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi in Horn Africa (HOA) raises concerns about impact this mosquito on transmission region. Analysis An. genetic diversity and population structure can provide insight into history HOA to improve predictions future spread. We investigated eastern Ethiopia, where suggests a range expansion region, order understand invasive population. Methods sequenced cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( COI ) B gene CytB...
Objectives. To determine whether non-US citizens have a higher mortality risk of heat-related deaths than do US citizens. Methods. We used place residence reported in data from the National Vital Statistics System 2005 to 2014 as proxy for citizenship examine differences between and Estimates Census Bureau American Community Survey self-reported status birth provided numbers study population. calculated standardized ratio relative nationally. Results. Heat-related accounted 2.23% (n = 999)...
Changes in the structure of managed red pine forests Wisconsin caused by interacting root- and stem-colonizing insects are associated with increased abundance blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, comparison nonimpacted stands. However, frequency variability occurrence tick-borne pathogens this coniferous forest type across is unknown. Red were surveyed from 2009 to 2013 determine prevalence Borrelia burgdorferi Anaplasma phagocytophilum questing I. nymphs. Polymerase chain reaction...
Surface water contaminants in Kentucky during and after 2011 flooding were characterized. samples collected flood stage (May 2–4, 2011; n = 15) (July 25–26, 8) from four different cities along the Ohio River analyzed for presence of microbial indicators, pathogens, metals, chemical contaminants. Contaminant concentrations compared using linear logistic regression. had higher levels E. coli, enterococci, Salmonella, Campylobacter, coli O157:H7, adenovirus, arsenic, copper, iron, lead, zinc to...
Abstract Background Ethiopia has set a goal for malaria elimination by 2030. Low parasite density infections may go undetected conventional diagnostic methods (microscopy and rapid tests) their contribution to transmission varies settings. This study quantified the burden of subpatent from samples collected three regions northwest Ethiopia. Methods Sub-samples dried blood spots Ethiopian Malaria Indicator Survey 2015 (EMIS-2015) were tested compared using microscopy, tests (RDTs), nested...
World Malaria Day 2021 coincides with the 15th anniversary of United States President's Initiative (PMI) and follows first declaration coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. From 2006 to present, PMI has led considerable country-managed progress in malaria prevention, care, treatment 24 highest-burden countries sub-Saharan Africa three Southeast Asia Greater Mekong subregion. Furthermore, it contributed a 29% reduction cases 60% death rates Africa. In this context progress, substantial...
Anopheles gambiae s.l. and funestus Giles are the primary vectors of malaria in East Africa. Identification host-location olfactory cues may increase trap sensitivity for vector control surveillance programs. Solid-state army miniature light traps were operated near sleeping humans huts at night without lights augmented with potential attractants: L-lactic acid, Limburger cheese volatiles, hexanoic carbon dioxide. Mosquito response varied between species gender. Female An. exhibited a...
Purpose Today’s pressing global societal challenges are urgent and require substantial solutions innovations that tackle the roots of a problem. These call for new forms leadership, stakeholder engagement innovation. This paper aims to examine whether, why how business leaders engage in social The authors argue leadership perspective motivation important drivers developing suited resolving at their roots. More specifically, propose intra-personal factors (degree care compassion), an...
Background . The Akaki River in Ethiopia has been found to contain elevated levels of several metals. Our objectives were characterize metals exposures residents living near the and assess metal their drinking water. Methods In 2011, we conducted a cross-sectional study 101 households Akaki-Kality subcity (near River) 50 Yeka (distant River). One willing adult each household provided urine, blood, water sample. Results Urinary molybdenum (<mml:math...
Abstract Background Sixty percent of the Ethiopia population is at risk malaria, with highest prevalence reported in Gambella (6%) and Benishangul-Gumuz (3%) regions. Within these regions are large agricultural developments high numbers seasonal migrant workers. The workers believed to be increased for malaria infection due their poor living conditions outdoor activities, but there little information on specific behaviours health risks. This study was conducted address this gap. Methods...
