BACKGROUND Anaemia reduces cognitive potential in school children, retards their growth and predisposes them to other diseases. As there is a paucity of data on the current burden of P. falciparum, S. mansoni and soil transmitted helminths (STH) infections and their correlation with schoolchildren's anemia in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), we collect these data. METHODS This study re...

In 2013, Benin developed strategies to control neglected tropical diseases and one of the first step was the disease mapping of the entire country in order to identify endemic districts of schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths (STH). This study was carried out in 30 of the 77 districts of Benin. Of these 30 districts 22 were previously treated for Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) using the Iv...

BACKGROUND Soil Transmitted Helminth infection is one of most prevalent health problems worldwide, especially in environments with poor sanitation. Based on World Health Organisation (WHO) data, more than 2 billion people, or 24% of the world's population, are infected with intestinal parasite. The highest prevalence is located in areas of poor sanitation and unsafe water supplies. In Indonesia...

UNLABELLED Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is recognized as the main cause of bacterial diarrhoea among children in Asia, Africa and Latin America but less investigated in Bolivia. OBJECTIVE To determine the relation between enterotoxins, CFs and serotypes as well as the antimicrobial resistance patterns in a set of ETEC isolates collected from hospitalized children with acute diarrhe...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of diarrhea. Three adhesins (Tia, TibA, EtpA), an iron acquisition system (Irp1, Irp2, and FyuA), a GTPase (LeoA), and an autotransporter (EatA) are ETEC virulence-related proteins that, in contrast to the classical virulence factors (enterotoxins and fimbrial colonization factors) have not heretofore been targets in characterizing i...

INTRODUCTION Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are predominately controlled by providing children with preventive chemotherapy with either albendazole or mebendazole. However, neither has a high efficacy against Trichuris trichiura. This low efficacy limits the overall effectiveness of the current STH control programmes against T. trichiura. It has been demonstrated that co-administeri...

Hybrid trials that include both clinical and implementation science outcomes are increasingly relevant for public health researchers that aim to rapidly translate study findings into evidence-based practice. The DeWorm3 Project is a series of hybrid trials testing the feasibility of interrupting the transmission of soil transmitted helminths (STH), while conducting implementation science resear...

This work aims to review the general guidelines be adopted perform coupled System Thermal Hydraulics (STH)/CFD calculations. The analysis is often required when complex phenomena characterized by different characteristic time and length scales are investigated. Indeed, STH/CFD coupling main drawbacks of both stand-alone codes overcome, reducing computational cost providing more realistic soluti...

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) merupakan parasit yang paling sering ditemukan pada manusia, infeksi STH menyebabkan morbiditas namun kerap terabaikan sehingga di kategorikan oleh WHO sebagai neglegted tropical disease , penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi orang dewasa sehat. Penelitian deskriptif kategorik, dengan metode pengambilan sampel multi stage random sampling . dilak...

Kecacingan merupakan salah satu infeksi yang masih menjadi permasalahan di negara berkembang. Infeksi dapat disebabkan oleh kelompok soil transmitted helminth (STH) menyebabkan penurunan penyerapan gizi pada penderita. Kejadian kecacingan diduga beresiko masyarakat sehari-hari beraktifivitas dengan melakukan kontak langsung media tanah satunya pengrajin batu bata. Di Desa Tegal Badeng Kabupaten...
