- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Snake bite is a common medical emergency in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The taipan, Oxyuranus scutellatus, inflicts a large number of bites that, in the absence of antivenom therapy, result in high mortality....
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Despite historical evidence of blinding trachoma, there have been no widespread contemporary surveys of trachoma prevalence in the northern states of Sudan. We aimed to conduct district-level surveys in this...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of chronic disabling infections affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide, mainly in Africa and mostly those living in remote rural areas, urban slums, or conflict...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBartonella spp. are facultative intracellular vector-borne bacteria associated with several emerging diseases in humans and animals all over the world. The potential for involvement of ticks in transmission of...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Dengue virus genotypes of Southeast Asian origin have been associated with higher virulence and transmission compared to other genotypes of serotype 2 (DEN-2). We tested the hypothesis that genetic...
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Non-Typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) is an important cause of invasive bacterial disease and associated with mortality in Africa. However, little is known about the environmental reservoirs and predominant modes...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe mechanisms underlying the development of disease during arenavirus infection are poorly understood. However, common to all hemorrhagic fever diseases is the involvement of macrophages as primary target cells,...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIn the Gran Chaco region, control of Triatoma infestans has been limited by persistent domestic infestations despite the efforts of the Vector Control Services. In Paraguay, this region is the highest endemic area in...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Drug resistance is a major problem in leishmaniasis chemotherapy. RNA expression profiling using DNA microarrays is a suitable approach to study simultaneous events leading to a drug-resistance phenotype....
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: We evaluated the Ziehl-Neelsen staining (ZNS) technique for the diagnosis of paragonimiasis in Laos and compared different modifications of the ZNS techniques. Methodology: We applied the following...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: A variety of obstacles including bureaucracy and lack of resources have interfered with timely detection and reporting of dengue cases in many endemic countries. Surveillance efforts have turned to modern...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The essential purine salvage pathway of Trypanosoma brucei bears interesting catalytic enzymes for chemotherapeutic intervention of Human African Trypanosomiasis. Unlike mammalian cells, trypanosomes lack de...
- 13From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The emergence of dengue throughout the tropical world is affecting an increasing proportion of adult cases. The clinical features of dengue in different age groups have not been well examined, especially in...
- 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Accidents caused by Loxosceles spider may cause severe systemic reactions, including acute kidney injury (AKI). There are few experimental studies assessing Loxosceles venom effects on kidney function in...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) constitutes an important public health problem in Peru. However, no studies have attempted to estimate the monetary and non-monetary impact of CE in Peruvian society. Methods:...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Most arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are RNA viruses, which are maintained in nature by replication cycles that alternate between arthropod and vertebrate hosts. Arboviruses appear to experience lower...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIn 1995, one of the largest outbreaks of human toxoplasmosis occurred in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Genetic typing identified a novel Toxoplasma gondii strain linked to the outbreak, in which a wide...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Leprosy is remaining prevalent in the poorest areas of the world. Intensive control programmes with multidrug therapy (MDT) reduced the number of registered cases in these areas, but transmission of...
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Differences between noninfective first-stage (L1) and infective third-stage (L3i) larvae of parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis at the molecular level are relatively uncharacterized. DNA microarrays...
- 20From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedAminoglycoside antibiotics target the ribosomal decoding A-site and are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria. These compounds bind to a highly conserved stem-loop-stem structure in helix 44 of bacterial 16S rRNA....
