- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Vertical control and elimination programs focused on specific neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) can achieve notable success by reducing the prevalence and intensity of infection. However, many NTD-endemic...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedLittle is known of the direct microbicidal activity of T cells in leprosy, so a lipopeptide consisting of the N-terminal 13 amino acids lipopeptide (LipoK) of a 33-kD lipoprotein of Mycobacterium leprae, was...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Buruli ulcer is an infectious disease involving the skin, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. Its exact transmission mechanism remains unknown. Several arguments indicate a possible role for insects in its...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The competence of the tsetse fly Glossina pallidipes (Diptera;Glossinidae) to acquire salivary gland hypertrophy virus (SGHV), to support virus replication and successfully transmit the virus depends on...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedFilarial worms cause a variety of tropical diseases in humans; however, they are difficult to study because they have complex life cycles that require arthropod intermediate hosts and mammalian definitive hosts....
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Dengue infection ranks as one of the most significant viral diseases of the globe. Currently, there is no specific vaccine or antiviral therapy for prevention or treatment. Monocytes/macrophages are the...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction The WHO estimates there may be 50 million dengue virus (DENV) infections worldwide every year, with the disease being endemic in more than 100 countries [1]. There has been a dramatic rise in the...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue virus (DENV) infection in humans, and DENV is the most important arbovirus across most of the subtropics and tropics worldwide. The early time...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: In the Indian subcontinent, about 200 million people are at risk of developing visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In 2005, the governments of India, Nepal and Bangladesh started the first regional VL elimination...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHookworm infection is considered one of the most important poverty-promoting neglected tropical diseases, infecting 576 to 740 million people worldwide, especially in the tropics and subtropics. These blood-feeding...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedImmunological pressure encountered by protozoan parasites drives the selection of strategies to modulate or avoid the immune responses of their hosts. Here we show that the parasite Entamoeba histolytica has evolved a...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Echinococcus multilocularis is the source of alveolar echinococcosis, a potentially fatal zoonotic disease. This investigation assessed the presence of E. multilocularis infection in definitive hosts in the...

The JAK-STAT pathway controls Plasmodium vivax load in early stages of Anopheles aquasalis infection
Malaria affects 300 million people worldwide every year and 450,000 in Brazil. In coastal areas of Brazil, the main malaria vector is Anopheles aquasalis, and Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria... - 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedPatients with Chronic Chagas' Heart Disease possess high levels of antibodies against the carboxyl-terminal end of the ribosomal P2[beta] protein of Trypanosoma cruzi (TcP2[beta]). These antibodies, as well as the...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe use of antibiotics targeting the obligate bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia of filarial parasites has been validated as an approach for controlling filarial infection in animals and humans. Availability of genomic...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedInsecticide resistance has the potential to comproomise the enormous effort put into the control of dengue and malaria vector populations. It is therefore important to quantify the amount of selection acting on...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans (CLM) is a common but neglected tropical skin disease caused by the migration of animal hookworm larvae in the epidermis. The disease causes intense pruritus and is...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedDengue is a major public health problem worldwide and continues to increase in incidence. Dengue virus (DENV) infection leads to a range of outcomes, including subclinical infection, undifferentiated febrile illness,...
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Dog bites in humans are a public health problem worldwide. The issues of increasing stray dog populations, rabies outbreaks, and the risk of dogs biting humans have been frequently reported by the media in...
- 20From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and Aedes albopictus Skuse mosquitoes transmit serious human arboviral diseases including yellow fever, dengue and chikungunya in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. Females of the two...
