Scientific literature on neglected tropical diseases: a bibliometric analysis
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 Aug 22:1-8. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2250619. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of diseases mainly affecting people in low- and middle-income Countries. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on NTDs. Using the MeSH database, we quantified the number of publications on MEDLINE targeting each NTD, which were published from 1 January 1999 to 31 January 2019. In order to weight the number of publications targeting a given NTD according to the total number of publications/year, we calculated a Yearly Publica...

Determining the relationship between dengue and vulnerability in a Brazilian city: a spatial modeling analysis
This study aimed to assess the distribution of cases and deaths from dengue and severe dengue, and its relationship with social vulnerability in Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, from 2010 to 2018. The incidence and lethality rates of dengue and their relationship with sex, age, education, skin color, and social vulnerability were studied using chi-square tests, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) analyses. The number of cases of dengue in Belo Horizonte during the study period was 324,044 dengue cases, with 1,334 cases of severe dengue and 88 deaths. During the past few ...

Continued dominance of dengue virus serotype 2 during the recent Central India outbreaks (2019-2021) with evidence of genetic divergence
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 Aug 13:1-11. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2246712. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCentral India faced major dengue outbreaks in 2019 and 2021. In the present study, we aimed to identify the dengue virus serotypes and genotypes circulating in Central India during the COVID pre-pandemic year (2019) and ongoing-pandemic year (2021). For this purpose, the suspected cases were first tested by serological assays. Sero-positive samples were then subjected to molecular diagnosis by RT-PCR and semi-nested PCR. The serotypes obtained were confirmed by nucleotide sequencing. A phylogenetic analysis of serotypes ...

HPV and Covid-19 Era: effects of nonpharmaceutical interventions on HPV transmission
In conclusion, nonpharmaceutical interventions due to Covid-19 pandemic did not reduce the risk of HPV infection but it likely caused a decrease in access to health services resulting in an increased risk of undiagnosed HPV.PMID:37533358 | DOI:10.1080/20477724.2023.2239052 (Source: Pathogens and Global Health)
