- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells that link innate and adaptive immune responses, playing a pivotal role in triggering antigen-specific immunity. Antigen uptake by DCs...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground and Methodology: Recently, we reported on a new class of naphthoquinone derivatives showing a promising anti-trypanosomatid profile in cell-based experiments. The lead of this series (B6,...
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: In tropical Africa, where the spectrum of the bacterial pathogens that cause fevers is poorly understood and molecular-based diagnostic laboratories are rare, the time lag between test results and patient...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Leptospirosis is a major public health concern in New Caledonia (NC) and in other tropical countries. Severe manifestations of the disease are estimated to occur in 5-15% of all human infections worldwide...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) is a human-biting mosquito and the primary vector of human dengue and yellow fever viruses; it is also considered the principal vector of Chikungunya virus in Asia [1,2]. In...
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Questionnaires of reported blood in urine (BIU) distributed through the existing school system provide a rapid and reliable method to classify schools according to the prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium,...
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The genetic population structure of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.), the main vector of dengue virus, is being investigated in areas where a novel dengue suppression program is to be implemented. The aim of...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Chronic persistent infections have been associated with T lymphocytes functional impairment. The aim of this study was to compare the activation status, the proliferative potential and the expression of CD28...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe Global Program to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) has a target date of 2020. This program is progressing well in many countries. However, progress has been slow in some countries, and others have not yet started...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe yellow fever vaccines (YF-17D-204 and 17DD) are considered to be among the safest vaccines and the presence of neutralizing antibodies is correlated with protection, although other immune effector mechanisms are...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Strongyloidiasis is frequently under diagnosed since many infections remain asymptomatic and conventional diagnostic tests based on parasitological examination are not sufficiently sensitive. Serology is...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAn epidemiological study of Ehrlichia canis infection in dogs in Peninsular Malaysia was carried out using molecular detection techniques. A total of 500 canine blood samples were collected from veterinary clinics and...
- 13From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The analytical validation of sensitive, accurate and standardized Real-Time PCR methods for Trypanosoma cruzi quantification is crucial to provide a reliable laboratory tool for diagnosis of recent...
- 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Delay in seeking treatment at the hospital is a major challenge in current Buruli ulcer control; it is associated with severe sequelae and functional limitations. Choosing alternative treatment and...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThere has been little evidence of a decline in the global burden of cholera in recent years as the number of cholera cases reported to WHO continues to rise. Cholera remains a global threat to public health and a key...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The emerging disease Buruli ulcer is treated with streptomycin and rifampicin and surgery if necessary. Frequently other antibiotics are used during treatment. Methods/Principal Findings: Information on...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Vector-borne diseases remain a threat to public health, especially in tropical countries. The incompatible insect technique has been explored as a potential control strategy for several important insect...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedTrypanosoma vivax, one of the leading parasites responsible for Animal African Trypanosomosis (Nagana), is generally cyclically transmitted by Glossina spp. but in areas devoid of the tsetse flies in Africa or in Latin...
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: In 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed seven warning signs (WS) as criteria for hospitalization and predictors of severe dengue (SD). We assessed their performance for predicting dengue...
- 20From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a major cause of viral encephalitis in South and South-East Asia. Lack of antivirals and non-availability of affordable vaccines in these endemic areas are a major...
