- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Acute painful swelling of the extremities and scrotum are debilitating clinical manifestations of Wuchereria bancrofti infection. The ongoing global program to eliminate filariasis using mass drug...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedEmerging evidence provides a scientific rationale for combining treatment programs for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with programs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Engaging the major stakeholders to establish...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: We have demonstrated that vaccination with pDNA encoding cysteine proteinase Type II (CPA) and Type I (CPB) with its unusual C-terminal extension (CTE) can partially protect BALB/c mice against cutaneous...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis are important public health problems in sub-Saharan Africa causing malnutrition, anemia, and retardation of physical and cognitive development. However, the...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: To date, there has been no standardized approach to the assessment of aerobic fitness among children who harbor parasites. In quantifying the disability associated with individual or multiple chronic...
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Previous studies have identified the behavioral responses of Aedes aegypti to irritant and repellent chemicals that can be exploited to reduce man-vector contact. Maximum efficacy of interventions based on...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Paramyosin is a thick myofibrillar protein found exclusively in invertebrates. Evidence suggested that paramyosin from helminths serves not only as a structural protein but also as an immunomodulatory agent....
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBartonella bacilliformis is the aetiological agent of human bartonellosis, a potentially life threatening infection of significant public health concern in the Andean region of South America. Human bartonellosis has...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Strongyloidiasis may cause a life-threatening disease in immunosuppressed patients. This can only be prevented by effective cure of chronic infections. Direct parasitologic exams are not sensitive enough to...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedJapanese encephalitis (JE) is a global public health issue that has spread widely to more than 20 countries in Asia and has extended its geographic range to the south Pacific region including Australia. JE has become...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is characterized by parasite-specific immunosuppression besides an intense proinflammatory response. Lipopolisaccharide (LPS) has been implicated in the immune activation of...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 5, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Detection of dengue NS1 antigen in acute infection has been proposed for early diagnosis of dengue disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and virological factors influencing the...
