An intervention study with mass treatment against taeniasis to prevent neurocysticercosis due Taenia solium in a rural community Mexico was performed 1991-96. Information and biological samples were obtained at the beginning of study, 6 months 42 after praziquantel single dose 5 mg/kg. Prevalence rates measured by detection coproantigens eggs faeces; suggested clinical data serum antibodies humans also swine. A reduction 53% 56% for human seen treatment. Late-onset general seizures decreased...
We compared a plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with an immunoblot—or immunoelectrotransfer blot—assay (EITB) for the identification of cases human neurocysticercosis due to Taenia solium and risk factors this disease in two Mexican villages. Findings related age- sex-specific seroprevalence, transmission, associated morbidity differed significantly according used. Rates EITB positivity were higher among persons history convulsions than those without such (29% vs 8%; P < .05);...
Introduction Influenza morbidity and mortality are significant in the countries of South America, yet influenza vaccination is as low 56.7% among pregnant women, reaching 76.7% adults with chronic diseases. This article measures relative values for hesitancy indicators confidence, complacency convenience by risk-groups urban areas five America contrasting rates, analyzing their association sociodemographic variables self-reported immunization status. Methods An exit survey was applied to 640...
Influenza vaccination coverage in countries of Latin America is low among priority risk groups, ranging from 5 to 75% older people. This paper aims describe and analyze the determinants influenza hesitancy through lens 3C model confidence, complacency convenience middle-class, urban group populations Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, South with contrasting coverage. Focus groups were conducted four groups: pregnant women, mothers children aged <6 years, adults factors, ≥60 years...
A dipstick dot ELISA for detection of Taenia-specific coproantigens was developed. The test based on a sandwich using antibodies raised against adult Taenia solium. Antibodies were absorbed to nitrocellulose paper previously adhered acetate plastic form dipsticks. Once blocked with 5% skimmed milk and dried the antibody-coated dipsticks stable several weeks at room temperature. Both micro formats genus specific although less sensitive than same antiserum. During field studies, in which...
Several influenza pandemics have taken place throughout history and it was assumed that the pandemic would emerge from a new human virus resulting adaptation of an avian strain. Mexico, since 2003 had developed National Preparedness Response Plan for Influenza Pandemic focused in risk communication, health promotion, healthcare, epidemiological surveillance, strategic stockpile, research development. This plan challenged on April 2009, when A(H1N1) strain swine origen detected Mexico. The...
Influenza vaccination has been available under Peru's national immunization program since 2008, but coverage decreased lately. Surveys and focus groups were conducted among four risk (pregnant women, mothers of children aged <6 years, adults with factors, ≥65 years) to identify factors affecting influenza vaccine hesitancy in Peru. The 3Cs model (Confidence, Complacency, Convenience) was used as a conceptual framework for the study.Most pregnant women young (70.0%), less than half (46.3%)...
OBJETIVO: Como parte del Sistema de Encuestas Nacionales Salud, durante los últimos meses 1999 y primeros tres año 2000 se realizó la Encuesta Nacional Salud México (ENSA 2000). Se estudió accesibilidad, calidad, utilización cobertura Servicios Salud; modo adicional actualizaron marcadores serológicos enfermedades infecciosas prevenibles por vacunación, infecciones transmisión sexual hepatitis. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Para ENSA seleccionaron grupos etarios a utilizadores servicios salud. captó...
Background. Monitoring of SARS-COV-2 vaccine hesitancy is important for epidemic control. We measured among healthy adults and with chronic diseases after they had been offered the first dose in Mexico City. Methods. An observational cross-sectional study was undertaken 185 175 living diseases. Differences means variables confidence, complacency, convenience were analyzed. Aggregate indicators constructed their association socioeconomic demographic conditions vaccination acceptance analyzed...
Background Data suggest that estrogen-metabolizing genes may be involved in breast cancer carcinogenesis. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the association CYP1A1 and COMT polymorphisms with disease. Material methods: A pilot case-control conducted Mexican women. Ninety-one patients 94 healthy controls were selected. Epidemiological clinical questionnaires answered by all participants, genotyping data obtained. 3801 T>C (rs4646903), 4889 A>G (rs1048943) 1947 G>A...
Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) called, in 2012, for a validated strategy towards Taenia solium taeniasis/cysticercosis control and elimination. Estimating pig force-of-infection (FoI, the average rate at which susceptible pigs become infected) across geographical settings will help understand local epidemiology inform effective intervention design. Porcine cysticercosis (PCC) age-prevalence data (from 15 studies Latin America, Africa Asia) were identified through systematic...
Influenza is a severe, vaccine-preventable disease. Vaccination programs across Latin American countries show contrasting coverage rates, from 29% in Paraguay to 89% Brazil. This study explores how national influenza vaccination the chosen South address vaccine confidence and convenience, as well complacency toward Barriers facilitators their relation hesitancy were observed by documentary analysis interviews with 38 immunization program officers high- (Brazil Chile) low-performing...
To generate timely and reliable information for decision making in local health centers, Mexico's National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SINAVE) was evaluated reformed. The reform achieved by consensus through national meetings of epidemiologists, using a conceptual model requirements, leadership, participation, motivation. new SINAVE is run committees that use data from 16 468 centers homogeneous all institutions. Indicators, flowcharts, standardized instruments were created. reforms...
Recently we read contributions from La Scola et al. (4), Luna (5), and Bell (1) published in this journal about their experiences with screening laboratory analysis carried out to identify anthrax human samples (nasal swabs) environmental (mail pieces packages), essentially by using B. anthracis DNA detection LightCycler PCR. This paper reports our experience extensive of suspected mail packages spores biochemical testing isolates conventional PCR techniques.
In Mexico, patients with systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) are excluded from the influenza vaccination programme despite their risk of cardiovascular events as influenza-related complications. We investigated impact on morbidity and mortality in SAH.This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that analysed data early 2014 to mid-2020.Data were obtained Influenza Epidemiological Surveillance System Mexico database.32 663 cases people aged ≥20 years confirmed case influenza-like illness,...
