Background: Urogenital schistosomiasis is a persistent public health problem in many rural areas of Yemen. Since 2014, Schistosoma haematobium epidemiology has not been assessed Amran governorate, north Yemen, where S. known to be highly endemic. Therefore, this study determined the prevalence and risk factors associated with infection among schoolchildren Kharif district governorate. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted 529 aged 7 15 years district. Data on children's...

Summary Objective To investigate the impact of socio‐economic and environmental factors on developing severe malaria in comparison with mild Yemen. Method Case‐control study comparing 343 children aged 6 months to 10 years diagnosed WHO‐defined (cases) at main children’s hospital Taiz 445 (controls) health centres, which serve areas where cases came from. Results In univariate analysis, age <1 year, distance from centre, delay treatment driving time centre were associated progression...

Background Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease endemic in the tropics and subtropics with global yearly incidence of 1.5 million. Although CL most common form leishmaniasis, which responsible for 60% DALYs lost due to tropical-cluster diseases prevalent Yemen, available information very limited. Methodology/Principal Findings This study was conducted determine molecular characterization Leishmania species isolated from human cutaneous lesions Yemen. Dermal scrapes...

Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a major cause of in-hospital mortality in the setting acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, little evidence is available regarding optimal order intra-aortic balloon counter-pulsation (IABP) insertion and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). The aim this study was to assess hospital short-term survival benefits two different IABP approaches, before versus after PPCI patients with cardiogenic shock. Results Total 80...

The Republic of Yemen has the highest incidence malaria in Arabian Peninsula, yet little is known its vectors or transmission dynamics. A 24-month study and related epidemiological aspects was conducted two villages Taiz region 2004–2005. Cross-sectional blood film surveys recorded an overall infection rate 15.3 % (250/1638), with rates exceeding 30 one village May December 2005. With exception, Plasmodium malariae, all infections were P. falciparum. Seven Anopheles species identified among...

Malaria remains a significant health problem in Yemen with Plasmodium falciparum being the predominant species which is responsible for 90% of malaria cases. Despite serious concerns regarding increasing drug resistance, chloroquine still used prevention and treatment Yemen. This study was carried out to determine prevalence choloroquine resistance (CQR) P. isolated from based on pfcrt T76 mutation.A cross-sectional among 511 participants four governorates Blood samples were screened using...

Although toxoplasmosis is an important public health problem, there scarcity of data on the disease available from Yemen. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in facilities to determine seroprevalence Toxoplasma gondii and associated risk factors among pregnant women Sana'a, capital city Yemen.A total 593 were included examined for anti-T. antibodies (Ab) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Bio socio-demographic collected by pre-tested structured questionnaires through face-to-face...

Little is known about the relative importance of environmental and socioeconomic factors for acquiring malaria in Yemen. A case-control study was conducted to determine these among children Cases non-severe were recruited from health centres; community controls neighbourhood cases. Data collected by personal interview direct inspection during home visits. In total, 320 cases 308 recruited. multivariate analysis, (living near streams freshwater marshes), earth roofs houses history travel all...

Hydatid disease is endemic and represents a major health problem in Yemen. The aim of this study to determine the magnitude hydatidosis patients attending Public Private Hospitals at Sana'a city, Yemen.66 with hydatid were identified during period from August 2006 February 2007. Complete medical history for all CE collected analyzed.Among 66 patients, 67% females 33% males. Liver was most common involved organ. Single cyst more frequently detected than multiple cysts approximately 94% ≥5 cm....

Abstract Background Malaria, malnutrition and anaemia are major public health problems in Yemen, with Hodeidah being the most malaria-afflicted governorate. To address lack of relevant studies, this study was conducted to determine prevalence Plasmodium falciparum its relation nutritional status haematological indices among schoolchildren Bajil district governorate, west Yemen. Methods A cross-sectional 400 selected randomly from four schools district. Data about demographic characteristics,...

We studied the profile of malaria and intestinal parasitosis among children presenting to Paediatric Health Centre in Sana'a from January 1998 December 2000. In stool samples 9014 children, Ascaris lumbricoides, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia Trichuris trichiura were most common. Infection with parasites direct life-cycle similar boys girls. Schistosome infection was significantly higher than girls, but girls more infected ascariasis. The only species parasite found blood 753...

Onchocerciasis in Yemen is one of the most neglected diseases, where baseline estimates onchocerciasis and monitoring impact ivermectin regularly administered to affected individuals on its transmission are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed determine anti-Ov16 IgG4 seroprevalence among local communities Hodeidah Al-Mahwit governorates Tihama region. The factors possibly associated with previous exposure infection were also studied.This cross-sectional was conducted two ivermectin-targeted...

Levels of circulating antigen in a group cotton rats infected with Leishmania donovani were followed over 28-week period, using modified, polyethylene-glycol (PEG) ELISA. Circulating could be detected from 1 week post-infection and gradually increased time. In treated curative dose Pentostam at 12 weeks post-infection, levels peaked then declined. Antigen was still some the animals 28 post-infection. The antibodies used PEG-ELISA also capture ELISA to detect parasite antigens urine. Urine...

Malaria is an endemic disease in Yemen and responsible for 4.9 deaths per 100,000 population year 43,000 disability adjusted life years lost. Although malaria caused mainly by Plasmodium falciparum vivax, there are no sequence data available on the two species. This study was conducted to investigate distribution of species based molecular detection phylogeny these parasites.Blood samples from 511 febrile patients were collected a partial region 18 s ribosomal RNA (18 rRNA) gene amplified...

Between June 2008 and March 2009, a cross-sectional study of human malaria was carried out in four governorates Yemen, two (Taiz Hodiedah) representing the country’s highlands others (Dhamar Raymah) coastal plains/foothills. The main aims were to determine prevalences Plasmodium infection among 455 febrile patients presenting for care at participating health facilities investigate potential risk factors such infection.Malarial detected 78 (17·1%) investigated more likely be from than those...
