Difficulty in controlling human Schistosoma japonicum infection is partly attributed to the presence of non-human definitive hosts. Water buffaloes are a major reservoir for transmission of S. japonicum to humans in China. However, in the Philippines, reports based on microscopic examination of buffalo stool identified a low prevalence of S. japonicum, and mathematical models using these data c...
known about the individual components of pest management applied to the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, in the Philippines is presented. This includes aspects relating to the pest, the agroecosystem, the plant, and preventive and curative control measures. Some successes have been obtained with a few of the components but many have not been tried in the field nor have there been sustaine...
This article addresses the political role of information technology in the Philippines. It uses a theoretical framework inspired by Antonio Gramsci to examine the discourse surrounding automated elections in two major daily papers, the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Business World Philippines. It argues that this discourse strengthens current conceptions of the development process by appealing t...
Antibodies against spotted fever group rickettsiae have been detected in blood samples of dogs and rodents obtained from selected areas in the Philippines. In this serosurvey, the positive percentage rates are 8.3% (11/132) in dogs and 12.2% (6/49) in rats. Positive results were read from samples tested with Rickettsia japonica antigen. No positive result was obtained in blood samples of rats a...
We report an exceptionally high rate of infection by Haplorchis taichui (Nishigori, 1924) in human populations on Mindanao Island, southern Philippines. This intestinal fluke is seldom encountered, and this is the first report of high prevalence of infection (36%) in humans by H. taichui in the Philippines. The likely source of haplorchine infection has been linked to consumption of raw or unde...
The Philippines is one of several Asian countries that has decentralized the provision of health care to its local governments in recent decades. In the context of decentralization, a few studies have previously examined the issue of fiscal competition among local governments in the developing world. This report presents a summary of a published study that examined the existence of inter-jurisd...
This article uses longitudinal data from the Philippines to examine whether the timing of malnutrition in early childhood is a critical factor in determining subsequent cognitive development. Although some observers have argued that the first six months of life are the most critical in the sense that malnutrition during that time period harms cognitive development more than malnutrition later i...
Alpha-globin genes in crab-eating macaques’were found to be triplicated at high frequencies according to restriction-enzyme comparisons. The frequencies of triplicated a-globin genes in macaques originally from Malaysia and Indonesia were 0.432 and 0.275, respectively, while no triplication was found in individuals from either the Philippines or northern and central Thailand. Quadruplicated a-g...
Community-based coastal resource management has been widely applied within the Philippines. However, small-scale community-based reserves are often inefficient owing to management inadequacies arising because of a lack of local support or enforcement or poor design. Because there are many potential pitfalls during the establishment of even small community-based reserves, it is important for coa...
BACKGROUND The state of the HIV epidemic in the Philippines has been described as "low and slow", which is in stark contrast to many other countries in the region. A review of the conditions for HIV spread in the Philippines is necessary. METHODS We evaluated the current epidemiology, trends in behaviour and public health response in the Philippines to identify factors that could account for ...
