- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Albendazole and mebendazole are increasingly deployed for preventive chemotherapy targeting soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections. We assessed the efficacy of single oral doses of albendazole (400 mg)...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a vector-borne parasitic disease characterized by the presence of one or more lesions on the skin that usually heal spontaneously after a few months. Most cases of CL...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedInsects are the pre-eminent form of metazoan life on land, with as many as [10.sup.18] individuals alive at any one instant and over three-quarters of a million species described. Although it is estimated that there are...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedExperimental infections with visceral Leishmania spp. are frequently performed referring to stationary parasite cultures that are comprised of a mixture of metacyclic and non-metacyclic parasites often with little...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The envelope (E) protein of dengue virus (DENV) is the major target of neutralizing antibodies and vaccine development. While previous studies on domain III or domain I/II alone have reported several...
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSuccessful mass drug administration (MDA) campaigns have brought several countries near the point of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) elimination. A diagnostic tool is needed to determine when the prevalence levels have...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Research on the biology of parasites requires a sophisticated and integrated computational platform to query and analyze large volumes of data, representing both unpublished (internal) and public (external)...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Dengue has emerged as the most important vector-borne viral disease in tropical areas. Evaluations of the burden and severity of dengue disease have been hindered by the frequent lack of laboratory...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Previous analyses of sera from a limited number of Ghanaian Buruli ulcer (BU) patients, their household contacts, individuals living in BU non-endemic regions as well as European controls have indicated that...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) can affect the heart and the vena cava but few cases are reported. Methods: A retrospective case series of 11 patients with cardiac and/or endovascular CE, followed-up over a...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Recent clusters of outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases (Rift Valley fever and chikungunya) in Africa and parts of the Indian Ocean islands illustrate how interannual climate variability influences the...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedScrub typhus is a common and underdiagnosed cause of febrile illness in Southeast Asia, caused by infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi. Inoculation of the organism at a cutaneous mite bite site commonly results in...
- 13From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi), is a major health problem especially in developing countries. Vaccines against typhoid are commonly used by travelers but less so by...
- 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Mycobacterium ulcerans is the causative agent of Buruli ulcer (BU). In West Africa there is an association between BU and residence in low-lying rural villages where aquatic sources are plentiful. Infection...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Category B select agent and the cause of melioidosis. Research funding for vaccine development has largely considered protection within the biothreat context, but the resulting...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedCystic echinococcosis (CE) is a chronic, complex and neglected disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The effects of this neglect have a stronger impact in remote rural areas whose inhabitants...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Many neglected tropical infectious diseases affecting humans are transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. New mode-of-action chemistries are urgently sought to enhance vector management...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedExperimental releases of genetically modified (GM) insects are reportedly being evaluated in various countries, including Brazil, the Cayman Islands (United Kingdom), France, Guatemala, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Panama,...
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe role of natural killer (NK) cells in infection-induced liver fibrosis remains obscure. In this study, we elucidated the effect of NK cells on Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) egg-induced liver fibrosis. Liver...
- 20From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: A range of molecular amplification techniques have been developed for the diagnosis of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT); however, careful evaluation of these tests must precede implementation to ensure...
