To estimate the prevalence of IgG antibodies against six arboviruses in people living with HIV-1 (PLWHIV) in Madagascar, we tested samples collected between January 2018 and June 2021. We used a Luminex-based serological assay to detect IgG antibodies against antigens from Dengue virus serotypes 1–4 (DENV1–4), Zika virus (ZIKV), West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and O’nyong nyong virus (ONNV). Of the 1036 ...

Acute and subacute oral toxicity characterization and safety assessment of COVID organics & #174; (Madagascar & #39;s Anti-COVID Herbal Tea) in animal models
Conclusion: The acute and subacute oral toxicity studies revealed that CVO is not toxic. The specific organ toxicity evaluations also indicated that CVO has no toxic effects on blood parameters and vital organs structure and function at therapeutic dose. Thus, CVO is safe for short- and long-term usage. We recommend that CVO should be subjected to efficacy studies to investigate whether it is effective for COVID-19 treatment as claimed by the manufacturer. (Source: Annals of African Medicine)

Disparities in the impacts of co-management on fishers ’ livelihoods
AbstractNatural resources are widely managed through collaborative governance arrangements (e.g., co-management) which often result in the uneven distribution of costs and benefits among fishers. Discrepancies in how a fisher is impacted by co-management relative to other fishers or others in the community (i.e., disparity) can negatively affect fishers ’ wellbeing, their support for management, and subsequently, ecological outcomes. Yet, disparities in the distribution of social impacts from co-management have rarely been assessed. We address this gap by examining disparities (losses and gains) in perceived livelihood i...

Description of a new species of Ixodes Latreille, 1795 (Acari: Ixodidae), parasite of shrew tenrecs (Afrotheria: Tenrecidae) and rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) on Madagascar
Syst Parasitol. 2023 Oct 24. doi: 10.1007/s11230-023-10122-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIxodes (Afrixodes) ambohitantelensis n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex endemic shrew tenrecs (Afrosoricida: Tenrecidae) and an introduced rodent (Rodentia: Muridae) from Madagascar. Females of this new species are similar to those of other species of the subgenus Afrixodes Morel, 1966, known from Madagascar, from which they can be distinguished by the size of scutum, size of scutal setae, shape of alloscutal setae, development of genital apron, size of auriculae, size of anterior angle of basis capituli, size...
