Background Schistosomiasis, one of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases, is a life-threatening public health problem in Yemen especially rural communities. This cross-sectional study aims to determine prevalence and associated risk factors schistosomiasis among children Yemen. Methods/Findings Urine faecal samples were collected from 400 children. examined using filtration technique for presence Schistosoma haematobium eggs while formalin-ether concentration Kato Katz techniques S....
Abstract This study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of Giardia infection among indigenous people in rural Malaysia. Faecal samples were collected from 1,330 participants seven states Malaysia examined by wet mount formalin-ether sedimentation methods while demographic, socioeconomic environmental information using a pre-tested questionnaire. The overall 11.6% significantly higher those aged ≤ 12 years compared their older counterparts. Multivariate logistic...
Background Intestinal protozoan diseases in Yemen are a significant health problem with prevalence ranging from 18% to 27%. The present study is cross-sectional aimed at determining the factors associated high of intestinal infections among patients seeking care Sana'a City, capital Yemen. Methodology/Principal Findings Stool samples were collected 503 aged between 1 and 80 years old; 219 males 284 females. Biodata via pretested standard questionnaire. Faecal processed examined for (oo)cysts...
Malaria is still a public health problem in Malaysia especially the interior parts of Peninsular and states Sabah Sarawak (East Malaysia). This first study on genetic diversity genotype multiplicity Plasmodium falciparum Malaysia. Seventy-five P. isolates were genotyped by using nested-PCR MSP-1 (block 2) MSP-2 3). allelic families identified 65 blood samples. RO33 was predominant family 80.0% (52/65) samples while K1 had least frequency. Of families, 3D7 showed higher frequency (76.0%)...
Yemen has witnessed several dengue fever outbreaks coincident with the social unrest and war in country. The aim of present study was to describe knowledge, attitudes practices (KAPs) at-risk urban populations residing Taiz, southwest Yemen. In addition, factors possibly associated poor preventive were investigated. A household-based, cross-sectional survey conducted three districts encompassing 383 households. Data on socio-demographic characteristics KAPs participating household heads...
In Yemen, the underlying causes of infectious vaginitis have been neglected. Therefore, this study aimed to determine prevalence and risk factors associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) trichomonal (TV) among non-pregnant reproductive-aged women.A cross-sectional was conducted 347 women seeking primary healthcare in Sana'a city, Yemen. Data about sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle-related behaviors, routine hygienic practices, menstrual care history...
Background Giardia duodenalis infection and malnutrition are still considered as public health problems in many developing countries especially among children rural communities. This study was carried out Aboriginal (Orang Asli) primary schoolchildren peninsular Malaysia to investigate the burden effects of on growth (weight height) children. Methods/Findings Weight height 374 aged 7–12 years were assessed before after treatment infection. The screened for parasite using trichrome staining...
Canine hookworm infection is endemic in Southeast Asian countries with a prevalence ranging from 70% to 100%, zoonotic transmission representing potentially significant public health concern. However, there are limited data available on the of canine hookworms Malaysia. This study was conducted determine and Ancylostoma species among dogs Faecal samples were collected 221 living urban areas, rural areas animal shelters Selangor. processed using formal-ether concentration technique followed...
This study was conducted to reassess the risk factors for giardiasis in communities of Orang Asli (indigenous people) Pahang, Malaysia. Stool samples were collected from 321 individuals (2-76 years old; 160 males, 161 females). Data via laboratory analysis faecal and a pre-tested standard questionnaire. River water tested Giardia cysts Cryptosporidium oocysts. The overall prevalence G. intestinalis infection 23.7%. Children < or =12 old had highest rate have been identified as high group...
A cross-sectional study to determine the current prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency (IDA) investigate possible risk factors for IDA was carried out on 241 aboriginal schoolchildren (120 boys, 121 girls) aged 7-12 years living in remote areas Pos Betau, Pahang, Malaysia. Haemoglobin (Hb) level measured serum status assessed by ferritin (SF), (SI) total binding capacity measurements. Socioeconomic data were collected using pre-tested questionnaires. All children screened intestinal...
Malaria is still a public health problem in Malaysia with chloroquine (CQ) being the first-line drug treatment policy of uncomplicated malaria. There scarcity information about magnitude Plasmodium falciparum CQ resistance. This study aims to investigate presence single point mutations P. chloroquine-resistance transporter gene (pfcrt) at codons 76, 271, 326, 356 and 371 multi-drug resistance-1 (pfmdr1) 86 1246, as molecular markers resistance.A total 75 blood samples were collected from...
Yemen is a Mediterranean country where 65% of its population at risk malaria, with 43% high risk. still in the control phase without sustainable reduction proportion malaria cases. A cross-sectional household survey was carried out different districts southeast to determine prevalence and identify factors that impede progress elimination phase.Blood specimens were collected from 735 individuals aged 1-66 years. Plasmodium species detected identified by microscopic examination Giemsa-stained...
We identified dengue in ≈51% of patients given a clinical diagnosis suspected Taiz, Yemen, during 2016. The cosmopolitan genotype virus type 2 was most common; viruses appeared to have originated Saudi Arabia. Damage public health infrastructure the ongoing civil war might enable become endemic Yemen.
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...
A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out among Aboriginal schoolchildren aged 7–12 years living in remote areas Pos Betau, Pahang, Malaysia to investigate the potential determinants influencing cognitive function and educational achievement of these children. Cognitive measured by intelligence quotient (IQ), while examination scores selected school subjects were used assessing achievement. Blood samples collected assess serum Fe status. All children screened for...
Giardia duodenalis is a protozoan parasite that can cause significant diarrhoeal diseases. Knowledge of population genetics prerequisite for ascertaining the invasion patterns this parasite. In order to infer evolutionary could not be uncovered based on morphological features, genetic study with incorporation molecular marker was carried out access structure G. isolated from Malaysian and global populations. A total 154 samples positive Giardia, collected different communities, were...
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.
