Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that was only endemic in Africa and south Asia until 2005 and 2006, when the virus spread into the Indian Ocean islands, Europe, and Asia. Autochthonous CHIKV transmission in the Caribbean islands was reported in December of 2013. In Panama, two febrile cases were detected in May of 2014: one traveling from Haiti, and the other traveli...... hiện toàn bộ
Sex Affects the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Primaquine but Not Doxycycline in Healthy SubjectsAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 81 Số 5 - Trang 747-753 - 2009

We evaluated whether sex affects the steady-state pharmacokinetics of the antimalarial drugs, primaquine and doxycycline, in healthy subjects. Seventeen male and 17 female healthy Vietnamese subjects were administered 30 mg (base) of primaquine daily for 14 days. After a 2-week washout period, 14 male and 14 female subjects were administered 100 mg (base) of doxycycline daily for 14 days. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Antihelminthic Therapy and Antimony in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial in Patients Co-Infected with Helminths and Leishmania braziliensisAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 84 Số 4 - Trang 551-555 - 2011

Helminth infections influence the clinical response to certain diseases and are associated with delayed healing time of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania braziliensis. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to examine the role of early versus deferred treatment of intestinal helminth infection on t...... hiện toàn bộ
Serologic Evidence of West Nile Virus Infections in Wild Birds Captured in GermanyAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 77 Số 2 - Trang 358-364 - 2007

To assess the risk of acquiring a West Nile virus (WNV) infection in Germany, we investigated samples from migrating and from resident birds. Because of their stay in or migration through WNV-endemic regions, these birds are at risk to become infected with WNV. Blood samples from 3,399 birds, representing 87 bird species, were collected in Germany in 2000 and in 2002–2005. Overall, 53 bird...... hiện toàn bộ
Potential for New York mosquitoes to transmit West Nile virus.AMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 62 Số 3 - Trang 413-414 - 2000
M J Turell, Monica L. O’Guinn, JoAnne Oliver
We evaluated the potential for several North American mosquito species to transmit the newly introduced West Nile (WN) virus. Mosquitoes collected in the New York City Metropolitan Area during the recent (1999) WN outbreak were allowed to feed on chickens infected with WN virus isolated from a crow that had died during this outbreak. These mosquitoes were tested approximately 2 weeks later...... hiện toàn bộ
A HIGHLY SENSITIVE AND SPECIFIC REAL-TIME PCR ASSAY FOR THE DETECTION OF SPOTTED FEVER AND TYPHUS GROUP RICKETTSIAEAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TROPICAL MEDICINE AND HYGIENE - Tập 73 Số 6 - Trang 1083-1085 - 2005
John Stenos, Nathan Unsworth, Stephen Graves
A highly specific real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was developed to detect spotted fever and typhus group rickettsiae using the citrate synthase gene as the target. The assay amplified rickettsial members of the spotted fever and typhus group including Rickettsia akari, R. australis, R. conorii, R. honei... hiện toàn bộ
