streets but retain their family contacts, and also those who practically live on
the streets and have no or limited family contacts. In Pakistan, many children
are forced to work on the streets due to health-related events occurring at home

Schistosoma mekongi is a human blood fluke causing schistosomiasis that
threatens approximately 1.5 million humans in the world. Nonetheless, the
limited available S. mekongi genomic resources have hindered understanding of
its biology and parasite-host interactions for disease management and pathogen
control. The aim of our study was to integrate multiple technologies to
construct a high-quality ... hiện toàn bộ

post-release from treatment among leprosy patients treated in Cáceres-MT, Brazil
in the period 2000 to 2017. A retrospective cohort study and survival analysis

Epidemiological characterization of imported recurrent Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale in China, 2013–2020Infectious Diseases of Poverty - Tập 10 - Trang 1-10 - 2021
Yanwen Cui, Li Zhang, Zhigui Xia, Hejun Zhou, Fang Huang
China has reached important milestones in the elimination of malaria. However,
the numbers of imported recurrent cases of Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale are
gradually increasing, which increases the risk of malaria re-establishment in
locations where Anopheles mosquitoes exist. The aim of this study is to
characterize the epidemiological profiles of imported recurrent P. vivax and P.
ovale cases, q... hiện toàn bộ
Malaria epidemiology and interventions in Ethiopia from 2001 to 2016Infectious Diseases of Poverty - Tập 7 - Trang 1-9 - 2018

Ethiopia is one of the African countries where Plasmodium falciparum and P.
vivax co-exist. Monitoring and evaluation of current malaria transmission status
is an important component of malaria control as it is a measure of the success
of ongoing interventions and guides the planning of future control and
elimination efforts. We evaluated changes in malaria control policy in Ethiopia,
and reviewed... hiện toàn bộ

Human brucellosis is a neglected public health issue in China and reports of
HIV-infected individuals complicated with brucellosis are rare. This report
describes the case of an HIV-infected patient complicated with brucellosis. We
want to raise awareness of clinical diagnosis of brucellosis among clinicians.
Furthermore, we should be more concerned about cases with pyrexia of unknown
origin, espe... hiện toàn bộ
