Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are among the most common infections worldwide with an estimated 1.5 billion infected people or 24% of the world’s population. These infections affect the poorest and most deprived communities with poor access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene in tro...
The increasing global trend of Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has gradually emerged as a major public health challenge for the entire world. AMR has spread to almost all countries and regions, including Pakistan owing to the “misuse and overuse” of Antimicrobials, contributing to the increasing ...
The Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) is using mass drug administration (MDA) of antifilarial medications to treat filarial infections, prevent disease and interrupt transmission. Almost 500 million people receive these medications each year. Clinical trials have recently shown...
The previous report of the WHO Expert Committee on this disease
followed a meeting in 1995. Intensive, coordinated efforts against HAT during
the intervening 18 years have resulted in a decrease in incidence to a point at
which elimination is considered feasible. This report provides informati...
This report, published in conjunction with a summary overview of results of rounds 1–8, is the eighth and final report in a series of laboratory-based evaluations of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria. It provides a comparative measure of their performance in a standardized way to distingui...
BioDrugs. 2023 Sep 20;37(6):737–756. doi: 10.1007/s40259-023-00623-4
There are many malaria vaccine candidates in development, with more than a dozen of these in clinical development. RTS,S/AS01 (also known as Mosquirix) is the most advanced malaria vaccine and was shown to have modest efficacy ...
Over 6 million people worldwide are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan that causes Chagas disease. Endemic in 21 Latin American countries, the disease can be transmitted by vector insects called triatomines — also known as “kissing bugs” —, foods or beverages contaminated with th...
Carlos Chagas discovered American trypanosomiasis, also named Chagas disease (CD) in his honor, just over a century ago. He described the clinical aspects of the disease, characterized by its etiological agent (Trypanosoma cruzi) and identified its insect vector. Initially, CD occurred only in Latin...
PLoS ONE 13(8): e0202499. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0202499
This was a school-based cross-sectional study conducted in 2015 among 305 school children aged 7–16 years from two primary schools located in Ilemela and Magu Districts, north-western Tanzania. Single stool and urine samples w...
Chagas disease is found mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American countries. The most common way people are infected with Chagas is through the blood-sucking triatomine bugs, also known as ‘kissing bugs’ (or vinchuca, barbeiro, pito, chinche, chipo in different Latin American coun...
The 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: health at the mercy of fossil fuels
recommended
The Lancet October 25, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(22)01540-9
As climate change’s impacts continue to accrue, countries are persistently making wrong choices that are harming human health.
A desperate global thirst for fossil fuels is worsening climate change, leading to more extr...
The article "Malaria – MSD Manual Professional Edition" provides a comprehensive overview of malaria, an infection caused by Plasmodium species. It describes symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia, explains diagnostic methods like parasite detection in blood smears, and discusses treatment opt...
This selection of online courses provides a comprehensive education in malaria and related infectious diseases, set within the broader frameworks of global health and epidemiology. Courses such as the Global Disease Masterclass and Immunology: The Immune System and Infectious Diseases (both offered ...
Malaria Mini: The Basics is an accredited video course led by Dr John F. Fisher. It provides clinicians with the essential knowledge needed to recognise, prevent and treat malaria. In under an hour, it covers the parasite’s life cycle, transmission, diagnostic methods and the treatment of both unc...
Beyond Malaria is an educational short film that explores the wider social, economic and health system issues related to controlling malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Moving beyond the clinical aspects of the disease, the film highlights structural inequalities, poverty, access barriers and community-l...
This educational video uses the story of Zara, a student who develops a high fever and is diagnosed with malaria, to explain the causes and life cycle of the disease. It clarifies that malaria is not directly caused by mosquitoes, but by a protozoan parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted t...
Severe and difficult asthma in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC) can relate to lack of availability of basic medications; potentially reversible factors such as poor adherence or comorbidities such as obesity inhibiting a good response to treatment; and (rarely) true severe, therapy-resistant ...
For the molecular diagnosis of Chagas disease by real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction), optimization of diagnostic accuracy is desirable. The detection limit of real-time PCR assays for the diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi in human serum is affected by various influences including the choice of th...
A parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of tapeworms in the Echinococcus.
The disease often starts without symptoms and this may last for years. The symptoms depend on the cyst's location and size.
Alveolar disease usually begins in the liver, but can spread to other parts of the body, such...
The American Jornal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, vol. 105, no.6, pp.1772-1781.
Schistosomiasis, which is the second most important parasitic infection after malaria in terms of its socioeconomic impact, is responsible for the loss of an estimated 4.5 million disability-adjusted life years (DA...
