- 1From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) infection can increase the risk of developing skin disorders. This study evaluated the correlation between HTLV-1 proviral load and CD[4.sup.+] and CD[8.sup.+]...
- 2From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedRift Valley Fever virus (RVFV) is an enzootic virus that causes extensive morbidity and mortality in domestic ruminants in Africa, and it has shown the potential to invade other areas such as the Arabian Peninsula....
- 3From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Haiti's cholera epidemic has been devastating partly due to underlying weak infrastructure and limited clean water and sanitation. A comprehensive approach to cholera control is crucial, yet some have argued...
- 4From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Invasive Non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) are an important cause of bacteraemia in children and HIV-infected adults in sub-Saharan Africa. Previous research has shown that iNTS strains exhibit a pattern of...
- 5From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedChagas disease has a major impact on human health in Latin America and is becoming of global concern due to international migrations. Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of the disease, is one of the rare human...
- 6From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The human protozoan parasites Leishmania are prototrophic for pyrimidines with the ability of both de novo biosynthesis and uptake of pyrimidines. Methodology/Principal Findings: Five independent L....
- 7From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedIn a cross sectional study, 19 French and 23 Colombian cases of confirmed active ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) were evaluated. The objective was to compare clinical, parasitological and immunological responses and relate...
- 8From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by infection with parasites of the Trypanosoma brucei species complex, and threatens over 70 million people in sub-Saharan Africa. Development of new drugs is hampered...
- 9From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Visceral leishmaniasis is a lethal parasitic disease transmitted by phlebotomine sand flies. The largest focus of VL in Ethiopia is located in the lowland region bordering Sudan, where the epidemiology is...
- 10From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground and Objectives: Trachoma is the most common cause of infectious blindness. Hot, dry climates, dust and water scarcity are thought to be associated with the distribution of trachoma but the evidence is...
- 11From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAfrican trypanosomes are unusual among pathogenic protozoa in that they can undergo their complete morphological life cycle in the tsetse fly vector with mating as a non-obligatory part of this development. Trypanosoma...
- 12From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMycetoma is a chronic infectious disease of the subcutaneous tissue with a high morbidity. This disease has been reported from countries between 30[degrees]N and 15[degrees]S since 1840 but the exact burden of disease...

- 14From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread human malaria parasite. Cohort studies in Papua New Guinea have identified a rapid onset of immunity against vivax-malaria in children living in highly...
- 15From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHuman enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality from Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) and neurological complications, particularly in young children in the Asia-Pacific region. There are...
- 16From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Schistosomiasis is a disease of world-wide importance and is caused by parasitic flatworms of the genus Schistosoma. These parasites exhibit a unique reproduction biology as the female's sexual maturation...
- 17From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedWe have previously shown that experimental infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi is associated with changes in the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Increased glucocorticoid (GC) levels are believed to be protective...
- 18From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground The global health community pays renewed attention to evaluating the feasibility of elimination and eradication of certain communicable diseases [1,2] besides continuing to reduce the burden of ill-health....
- 19From: PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases. (Vol. 7, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: TcSMUG L products were recently identified as novel mucin-type glycoconjugates restricted to the surface of insect-dwelling epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease....
