Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 25:tpmd230341. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0341. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Papua New Guinean Defence Force (PNGDF) and the Australian Defence Force (ADF) work and train closely. Infectious diseases pose a health threat to both forces, but recent knowledge about the risk at military bases in Papua New Guinea is limited. To improve understanding, a collaborative cross-sectional survey was conducted (March-April 2019) at Lombrum Naval base (Manus province) and Moem Army barracks (Wewak, East Sepik province) plus its Vanimo outpost (Sandaun province). Clinical data, venous blood, and sputum were c...

Diethylcarbamazine elicits Ca < sup > 2+ < /sup > signals through TRP-2 channels that are potentiated by emodepside in < em > Brugia malayi < /em > muscles
Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2023 Sep 20:e0041923. doi: 10.1128/aac.00419-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFilarial nematode infections are a major health concern in several countries. Lymphatic filariasis is caused by Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia spp. affecting over 120 million people. Heavy infections can lead to elephantiasis, which has serious effects on individuals' lives. Although current anthelmintics are effective at killing microfilariae in the bloodstream, they have little to no effect against adult parasites found in the lymphatic system. The anthelmintic diethylcarbamazine is one of the central pillars of l...

Integrated Prevalence Assessment of Wuchereria bancrofti and Onchocerca volvulus in Three Co-Endemic Districts of Gambella Region, Ethiopia
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Sep 11:tpmd220392. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0392. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLymphatic filariasis (LF) and onchocerciasis (OV) are among the neglected tropical diseases (NTD) targeted for elimination in Ethiopia. We used a transmission assessment survey (TAS-1) to evaluate the serological status of OV in three co-endemic districts in Gambella simultaneously. During May and June 2019, blood samples were collected from 6- to 7-year-old children who were randomly selected through standard community-based TAS methodology. Children were tested for both circulating filarial antigen (CFA) for LF via filari...
