A novel outlook in the delivery of artemisinin: production and efficacy in experimental visceral leishmaniasis
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 May 15:1-7. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2212347. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe visceral form of leishmaniasis (VL), due to infection by Leishmania infantum, is a neglected tropical disease. The accessible therapeutic options are limited. Artemisinin is an efficient antileishmanial product with poor biological availability that requires high repetition of therapeutic doses in VL. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) provide targeted delivery, increase bioavailability and reduce toxicity of the traditional therapeutic strategy. The spherical shape artemisinin-loaded SLNs were prepared in a particle di...

Impact of public health policy and mobility change on transmission potential of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in Rhode Island, March 2020 - November 2021
Pathog Glob Health. 2023 Apr 19:1-15. doi: 10.1080/20477724.2023.2201984. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTo study the SARS-CoV-2 transmission potential in Rhode Island (RI) and its association with policy changes and mobility changes, the time-varying reproduction number, Rt, was estimated. The daily incident case counts (16 March 2020, through 30 November 2021) were bootstrapped within a 15-day sliding window and multiplied by Poisson-distributed multipliers (λ = 4, sensitivity analysis: 11) to generate 1000 estimated infection counts, to which EpiEstim was applied to generate Rt time series. The median Rt percentage chan...
