Potential Impact of a Diagnostic Test for Detecting Prepatent Guinea Worm Infections in Dogs
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 2:tpmd230534. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0534. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChad has seen a considerable reduction in cases of Guinea worm disease (or dracunculiasis) in domestic dogs in recent years. Tethering of dogs and application of Abate® larvicide to water sources appear to have contributed to this progress, but with 767 reported dog cases in 2021, accelerating elimination of the disease in Chad may require additional tools. We investigate the potential benefits of a hypothetical diagnostic test that could be capable of detecting prepatent infections in dogs. We adapt an agent-based simulati...

False positive findings associated with adenoviral vector-based vaccine underscore the regulatory necessity to eliminate abnormal toxicity test
In conclusion, ATT, which requires unnecessary animal usage and competes for resources which otherwise can be spent on innovative medicine research, should be deleted permanently as batch release test by regulatory authorities around the world.PMID:38561146 | DOI:10.1016/j.yrtph.2024.105617 (Source: Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology : RTP)

Annals 80th anniversary: Immunotherapy for food allergy
The 1944 edition of the Annals of Allergy, Asthma& Immunology held the seed of an idea that today, some 80 years later, has come to define the field of food allergy. The article —entitled “Experimental approach to oral treatment of food allergy: Chemistry of food propeptans”—was conducted by Austrian dermatologist Erich Urbach, a war émigré who had escaped Nazi persecution to take up a position at the University of Pennsylvania.1 Alongside detailed chemical explan ations of the hydrolysis of food proteins, the article contained a surprising laboratory finding: guinea pigs who had been “allergenized” to egg wh...
