- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedAmong all of the African nations, Nigeria has the greatest number of people infected with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). With the right political will, the country has sufficient resources to expand its current...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Residents of resource-poor tropical countries carry heavy burdens of concurrent parasitic infections, leading to high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study was undertaken to help identify the social...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The Kato-Katz is the most common diagnostic method for Schistosoma mansoni infection. However, the day-to- day variability in host egg-excretion and its low detection sensitivity are major limits for its use...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Chagas Disease, a WHO- and NIH-designated neglected tropical disease, is endemic in Latin America and an emerging infection in North America and Europe as a result of population moves. Although a major cause...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Based on spatiotemporal clustering of human dengue virus (DENV) infections, transmission is thought to occur at fine spatiotemporal scales by horizontal transfer of virus between humans and mosquito vectors....
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedSole reliance on one drug, Praziquantel, for treatment and control of schistosomiasis raises concerns about development of widespread resistance, prompting renewed interest in the discovery of new anthelmintics. To...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedA standardized test for the serodiagnosis of human cystic echinococcosis (CE) is still needed, because of the low specificity and sensitivity of the currently available commercial tools and the lack of proper evaluation...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Schistosomiasis and opisthorchiasis are of public health importance in Southeast Asia. Praziquantel (PZQ) is the drug of choice for morbidity control but few dose comparisons have been made. Methodology:...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Scorpion venom induces systemic inflammation characterized by an increase in cytokine release and chemokine production. There have been few experimental studies assessing the effects of scorpion venom on...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Hookworm disease is a major global health problem and principal among a number of soil-transmitted helminthiases (STHs) for the chronic disability inflicted that impacts both personal and societal...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Alkhurma viral hemorrhagic fever virus (AHFV) is a tick-borne flavivirus described in Saudi Arabia and recently implicated in outbreaks of febrile illness associated with hemorrhagic and neurological...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedIn sub-Saharan Africa, where two-thirds of all HIV-infected individuals reside, many are now aware of their HIV infection status and millions are receiving antiretroviral therapy. In many countries in the region, new...
- 13From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedKonzo (caused by consumption of improperly processed cassava, Manihot esculenta) and neurolathyrism (caused by prolonged overconsumption of grass pea, Lathyrus sativus) are two distinct non-infectious upper motor...
- 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is a vector of several arboviruses including dengue and chikungunya, and is also a significant nuisance mosquito. It is one of the most invasive of mosquitoes with...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Children of mothers infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH) may have an increased susceptibility to STH infection. Methods and Findings: We did a case-control study nested in a birth cohort in...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedPrevention of tissue damages at the site of Leishmania major inoculation can be achieved if the BALB/c mice are systemically given L. major antigen (LmAg)-loaded bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) that had been...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedNovel drugs to treat human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are still urgently needed despite the recent addition of nifurtimox-eflornithine combination therapy (NECT) to WHO Model Lists of Essential Medicines against...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedStrongyloides stercoralis was first identified in post-mortem examination of the gastrointestinal tract of five French soldiers from Cochin, China, in 1876. Since then it has been recognized that infection with this...
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Our earlier genome-wide expression study revealed up-regulation of a tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1), in patients with scrub typhus. This gene has been previously reported...
- 20From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 6, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The complex life cycle of the genus Schistosoma drives the parasites to employ subtle developmentally dependent gene regulatory machineries. Small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are essential gene regulatory...
