Helminth exposure and immune response to the two-dose heterologous Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo Ebola vaccine regimen
In this study, we aimed to assess the association between helminth exposure to the most prevalent parasitic infections, schistosomiasis, soil transmitted helminths infection and filariasis, and the Ebola virus glycoprotein (EBOV GP) antibody concentration in response to vaccination with the Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo vaccine regimen in African and European participants using samples obtained from three international clinical trials. Methods/Principal findingsWe conducted a study in a subset of participants in the EBL2001, EBL2002 and EBL3001 clinical trials that evaluated the Ad26.ZEBOV, MVA-BN-Filo vaccine regimen against EV...

Chronic communicable and non-communicable pathology and skin pathology of the migrant patient
Aten Primaria. 2024 Apr 6;56(7):102922. doi: 10.1016/j.aprim.2024.102922. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe care of migrant patients includes initial screening and lifelong monitoring, highlighting the importance of preventing and tracking chronic, communicable and non-communicable diseases. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and obesity varies by ethnicity, influenced by genetic factors, lifestyle, and socio-economic status. Preventive measures, health promotion, and risk factor identification are crucial. Chronic communicable diseases may manifest years after transmission, underscoring the n...

Heterogeneity in elimination efforts could increase the risk of resurgence of lymphatic filariasis in Madagascar
CONCLUSION: Gaps in the implementation of LF elimination programme can increase the risk of resurgence and undermine elimination efforts. In Madagascar, districts that have not attained elimination pose a significant risk for those that have achieved it. More research is needed to help guide LF elimination programme on the optimal strategies for surveillance and control that maximize the chances to sustain elimination and avoid resurgence.PMID:38548211 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105589 (Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution)

The national distribution of lymphatic filariasis cases in Malawi using patient mapping and geostatistical modelling
ConclusionsThe models presented in this study have facilitated the development of the first national LF clinical case database and map in Malawi, the first endemic country in sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the value of using existing LF antigenaemia prevalence and clinical case data together with modelling approaches to produce estimates that may be used for the WHO dossier requirements, to help target limited resources and implement long-term health strategies.

An aquaporin and an aquaglyceroporin have roles in low temperature adaptation of mosquitoes (Anopheles sinensis)
Two aquaporin homologs are inAnopheles sinensis, AsAQP2 (A. sinensis aquaglyceroporin), and AsAQP4 (An. sinensis aquaporin); AsAQP2 transports water, glycerol, and urea, and AsAQP4 transports water alone. These 2 AQPs are highly expressed in the Malpighian tubules and midguts. AsAQP2 and AsAQP4 expression is up-regulated by blood feeding compared with sugar feeding. Mosquitoes with reduced AsAQP2 and AsAQP4 expression survived significantly longer under low temperatures than normal temperature. AbstractMosquitoes (Anopheles sinensis), widely geographically distributed in Asia including China, are the primary vector of the ...
