patients. Two of these five had concurrent S. haematobium, compared to no cases in nonosteomyelitis patients; a Fisher exact test showed this difference to be significant (p < 0.02). These limited and preliminary data are consistent with the relationship between leprosy (caused by a mycobacterium related to the one causing Buruli ulcer, M. leprae) and concurrent helminth infections. The severit...

Modeling the Dynamic Transmission of Dengue Fever: Investigating Disease Persistence

BACKGROUND Dengue is a disease of great complexity, due to interactions between humans, mosquitoes and various virus serotypes as well as efficient vector survival strategies. Thus, understanding the factors influencing the persistence of the disease has been a challenge for scientists and policy makers. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of various factors related to humans ...

On an Epidemic of Dengue Fever in Fiji in 1885

In May of the year 1885 a contagious disease, hitherto unknown in Fiji, made its appearance among the European population of the colony, continued active for some ten months, and then disappeared. Having once obtained a footing, so to speak, it attacked eventually all the white settlers, men, women, and children, and spread, though somewhat slowly, to the coloured races in the islands, viz., Fi...

An epidemic of Dengue fever in Karachi--associated clinical manifestations.

Dengue is a mosquito borne disease with worldwide distribution. Depending on virulence factors and host immune status, infection can manifest as a severe but non fatal viral syndrome or a rapidly progressive and a frequently fatal haemorrhagic fever. During the course of an outbreak of viral fever in Karachi, Pakistan from June, 1994 to September, 1995, we studied 145 cases admitted at the Aga ...
